Mahtook brings new confidence to Rays camp

PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. -- "Mr. September" finished the 2015 season with a bang. However, given the outfield competition in this year's Rays camp, Mikie Mahtook is a long shot to earn a roster spot at the beginning of the season.

Mahtook, 26, had four stints with the Rays and started 24 games at the three outfield spots in 2015. His final callup to the team came on Sept. 1, and from that point on, the Louisiana native showed the skills that enticed the Rays to select him in the first round of the 2011 MLB Draft.
