Orioles notes: Trey Mancini gets refresher at first base before return to natural position
Browse Orioles photos from June 2017. Rookie Trey Mancini took early infield at Guaranteed Rate Field before batting practice Tuesday to work on his first base defense ahead of his start in place of Chris Davis. Mancini said the position hasn’t gotten too far away from him in his recent transition to the outfield.
“I don’t feel too far,” he said. “I’ve been playing there my whole life, so it’s not like going out to the outfield and doing that [meant] playing at first base has really left me too much, I’d say.
"I still feel comfortable there. That’s what I’ve been doing my whole life. Every inning of my minor league career was there, so I’m definitely comfortable over there.”
