Mangum led all Diamond Dawgs in community service hours during the 2018-19 academic year
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – While his accolades on the field are widely known, senior baseball student-athlete Jake Mangum was honored for his off the field work on Wednesday (May 15), as he was a part of the Southeastern Conference's Community Service Team, as announced by the conference office.
Along with owning the Southeastern Conference and Mississippi State all-time hits records, Mangum led the Diamond Dawgs in community service hours during the 2018-19 academic year. The Pearl, Mississippi native was a part of Athletics Convocation, volunteered with Golden Triangle Outdoors, the
Special Olympics, Batson's Children Hospital and the Challenger League. Over the holiday break, Mangum also helped with the Salvation Army's Red Kettle Campaign.
On the field, Mangum is enjoying his finest season for the Maroon and White, leading the team in batting average (.392), on-base percentage (.443), runs scored (60), hits (93), doubles (20), triples (3) and stolen bases (20). His 368 hits during his four seasons in Starkville sit atop the SEC and MSU career charts, while he currently ranks tied for No. 7 on the NCAA's all-time list.
Mangum is finalizing what will surely be one of the best seasons in program history, as already ranks among the top five in eight categories; hits (1st; 368), batting average (5th; .367), doubles (2nd; 69), triples (T5th; 10), total bases (5th; 472), stolen bases (T5th; 54) and games played (T2nd; 248). He is also currently sixth on the career runs scored charts with 214, just five shy of cracking the top five.
