🚨 BUCCO BANTR PODCAST | INTERVIEW WITH JAKE MANGUM 🚨
Pirates fans, this is an episode you do NOT want to miss.
We’re joined by new Pittsburgh Pirate Jake Mangum, and his story is one of the most inspiring journeys to the big leagues you’ll hear. From being drafted THREE separate times, to getting traded twice before his time with the Rays, to grinding year after year before finally making his Major League debut, Mangum never stopped believing — and now he’s ready to leave it all on the field for Pittsburgh.
Jake opens up about the mental and physical challenges of chasing the dream, how staying locked in through constant uncertainty shaped him as a player, and what it meant to finally hear his name called to the show. His passion for the game and appreciation for every opportunity jumps off the screen.
