7/18/25	Rays' Jake Mangum Tops Unflattering List. Unfortunately for Tampa Bay Rays left fielder Jake Mangum, he fell victim to the worst strikeout call of all. In an early June series against the Texas Rangers, Mangum was in a 1-2 situation against Rangers right-hander Tyler Mahle with Tampa Bay up 1-0. Mahle delivered a slider way outside, leaving Mangum to watch in disbelief when umpire Las Díaz, a 25-year veteran of his post, called it a strike.

6/30/25	Rays' Jake Mangum Owns No. 1 Batting Average With Runners in Scoring Position. When it's time for teammates to score, Tampa Bay Rays left fielder Jake Mangum has become the best hitter in baseball. With runners in scoring position, Tampa Bay's 29-year-old rookie is posting a .458 batting average, the best in the league. After being sidelined for more than a month with a groin strain, Mangum's return to the Rays lineup has been incredibly productive. In June, Mangum is slashing .305/.340/.368 with 29 hits and 16 RBIs. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/rays/news/tampa-bay-rays-ja...
6/17/25	Jake Mangum, Rays look to keep things rolling vs. O's. The red-hot Tampa Bay Rays look to keep rolling Tuesday night in the second contest of their four-games series against the visiting Baltimore Orioles. It will be pretty hard to top the overall performance from Monday's 7-1 win in the first meeting with their American League East rival. The Rays' offense has scored seven runs or more in four straight wins -- three at the New York Mets and the six-run thrashing of Baltimore, which entered on a three-game winning streak. Tampa Bay has outscored the opposition 31-10 during the explosive four-game streak. Source: https://www.reuters.com/sports/baseball/jake-mangu...
6/15/25	Rays riding contributions of former Mets into finale vs. New York. It mostly has been a charmed year for the New York Mets. Tampa Bay will shoot for the sweep on Sunday afternoon. The Rays have gotten three hits in the series from Jake Mangum, a fourth-round draft pick of the Mets in 2019, as well as solid relief work Friday night from Eric Orze -- who was with the Mets last season -- and Edwin Uceta (2023).

6/13/25	Jake Mangum finally gets to play at Citi Field; he and Rays are a hit. Jake Mangum had been waiting a long time for the chance to play at Citi Field. Since June 4, 2019, to be exact, the day he was drafted out of Mississippi State in the fourth round by the Mets. “When I got drafted and spent four years with the Mets, this was where, like, your dream destination was,” Mangum said. Mangum delivered the first of two big hits in a six-run sixth inning Friday, as the Rays rallied from a four-run deficit, then hung on for a 7-5 victory over a Mets team that started the day with the majors' best record.

6/10/25	This time, Rays didn't do all the right things, and fall to Red Sox. The Rays have done so much right during the remarkable recent run, in which they had a majors' best 15-4 record, that it stands out starkly when they don't. It wasn't that they defended poorly, but not making a play on a first-inning line drive that landed in right-centerfield between Jake Mangum and Josh Lowe was a key factor in the loss. It wasn't that Ryan Pepiot pitched badly, but the two-run double he allowed to top prospect Roman Anthony and the loud home run he gave up to Trevor Story on his career-high 108th and final pitch in the sixth inning proved to be too much.

6/09/25	TB Rays OFs Jake Mangum, Kameron Misner Gearing Up For Fenway Park Debuts. More than two months into the 2025 regular season, the Tampa Bay Rays finally made the journey up to Boston to take on the Red Sox. For a handful of new faces, like rookie outfielders Jake Mangum and Kameron Misner, it will mark their first career appearances in Fenway Park – the oldest stadium in the majors. The 113-year-old venue has just as much charm as it does quirks, and the history isn't lost on Mangum. "This is a dream come true for baseball players," Mangum said.

6/05/25	Umpire Laz Diaz Made the Worst Strikeout Call on Record in Rays-Rangers Game. Staring down the threat of a rain out in Tampa, veteran umpire Laz Diaz wasn't about to let Tuesday night's game drag on. With one out in the top of the first, Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Jake Mangum had worked his way to a 1-2 count versus Texas Rangers right-hander Tyler Mahle. According to Umpire Auditor, Mahle's pitch missed outside by 6.83 inches. Source: https://www.si.com/fannation/mlb/fastball/history/...
6/01/25	WATCH: Jake Mangum's First MLB Home Run Heartfelt Family Affair. When the Tampa Bay Rays activated 29-year-old rookie Jake Mangum off the injured list on Friday, one of the first things he did was call his parents, John and Stacy. One of the first things they did was book a flight to Houston to watch their son, who's been out since April 23 with a groin strain. Mangum had two hits on Saturday night, including his first-ever major-league home run to right-center in the seventh inning. The ball hit in the bullpen and bounced into the stands — where a Rays fan caught it and gave it to Mangum after the game. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/rays/news/watch-jake-mangum...

4/23/25	Rays rising star Jake Mangum leaves Diamondbacks game with injury. The Tampa Bay Rays may have suffered a setback during their series against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday, as rising outfielder Jake Mangum exited Wednesday's game with an apparent injury. The team was able to rally even without Mangum in the lineup, taking down the Diamondbacks 7-6 in 11 innings to get its first road win of the season. Mangum pulled up while running to first base in the fourth inning and was replaced defensively the next half-inning, according to Mark Toppin of the Tampa Bay Times on X, formerly Twitter. Initial replays suggested a lower-body issue, and the Rays later confirmed Mangum left due to groin tightness. Source: https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/tampa-bay-rays/rays-n...
4/02/25	Tampa Bay Rays Rookie Jake Mangum Joins Exclusive List in MLB History Books. Jake Mangum's MLB debut on Sunday was largely uneventful. The Tampa Bay Rays outfielder drew a walk and struck out once, failing to leave much of a mark in his team's 6-4 victory. In the two games since then, however, Mangum has been historically productive, both at the plate and on the basepaths.

4/01/25	Jake Mangum, Rays hope for repeat performance vs. Pirates. The roots of the legend of Jake Mangum, the Tampa Bay Rays' early-season star, firmly were planted in right field at the spring training home of the New York Yankees on Monday night. Following a career night, the 29-year-old rookie likely will be back in the lineup Tuesday night when the Rays host the Pittsburgh Pirates in the second contest of their three-game series. In only his second career game, the switch-hitting Mangum went 4-for-4 with a double, two RBIs, a run and two stolen bases in Tampa Bay's 6-1 victory on Monday. "My high school guy was (Pirates infielder) Adam Frazier, watching him play at Mississippi State," said Mangum, who followed in Frazier's footsteps and headed to Starkville, where he set a Southeastern Conference record with 383 career hits.

3/10/25	Rays' Jake Mangum still hoping his ‘different’ story has major payoff. NORTH PORT — Jake Mangum isn’t going to taunt himself anymore. There were times last season, too many probably, where he let his mind wander. Days when he caught himself wondering — at age 28, in his third season at Triple A — if he finally was going to get the call to the big leagues. “I kind of let it get to me a little bit here and there,” Mangum said Monday. “Like being in Triple A for so ...
