Scout’s note
Mangum waited until nearly 30 to become a big-league regular and has hit .301 since — on some of the softest contact in our sample. The story is terrific; the fade board is unsentimental.
The Wire
△ On the field: Fans note his .311 average and multi-hit games with a home run while some call him a good player and others note ground balls and poor baserunning.
