Baltimore Orioles Star Trey Mancini stops by Pro Corner to talk about his path from falling in love with baseball as a 5 year old to becoming an MLB player. 

Along the way, Trey was an 8th round draft pick by the Baltimore Orioles. After being told that players drafted in that round only have a 25% chance of making it to the Show, Trey resolved himself to beat those odds, and consistently improved himself and adapted his game in the minor leagues in order to do so. Now, he's a star for the Orioles and a veteran leader on the team.

This episode covers his career path up to making the major leagues. Part 2 will cover his MLB experience.
