Edmundo Mangum
Catcher | London Mustangs
Hitting
Let's face facts: Mangum hits a lot of ground balls... and in my book, if you're slow of foot and put the ball on the ground, you're bound to get tied up in the double play. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency.
Baserunning & Defense
He doesn't get good jumps on grounders, but his routes are fine and his hands aren't bad. His arm is accurate, and he knows when to unload or take his time. He has below-average speed and is stiff on the basepath. He's poor on a straight steal but has some success at reading pitchers and working a delayed steal.
2025 Outlook
The London Mustangs signed him to a long-term contract, but don't think they won't drop Mangum like a hot potato if something better comes along.
