It's been a season of firsts for Trey Mancini. The Orioles rookie, who hit three home runs in his first five games last year, has played right and left field for the first time, and on April 19, he's batting leadoff for the first time.
Mancini, who has had a pair of two-homer games, matched a major league record with seven home runs in his first two games. In eight games this year, Mancini is batting .348 with four homers and nine RBIs.
He's ready for his first game at any level as a leadoff batter.
"If you saw a picture of me when I was 10 years old, you would say that kid's not a leadoff hitter. I was a pretty hefty youngster there, so, no, I never hit leadoff," Mancini said.
