After two seasons at NC State, Mangini transferred to Oklahoma State for his junior season, joining the man who recruited him at NC State and current Cowboys assistant coach Billy Jones. Mangini had a solid season in the 2006 Cape Cod League (310/370/394 in 155AB) where ranked as Baseball America’s #5 prospect. Scouts rave about his smooth lefthanded swing and expect the power to develop as he fills out. He is strong enough defensively to remain at 3B as he progresses through the minor leagues. Mangini is the best of a weak 2B/3B/SS college draft class and a strong season could project him into the lower half of the first round. With the presence of Ryan Zimmerman, Mangini would not fit unless the Nationals considered a position change for him.
