The 2026 graduate stands at 6-feet, 160-pounds, trending up in growth as he continues his prep career. A slight leg kick paired with quiet hands allowed Mantei, who took advantage of strikes in the zone, to send three pitches to the outfield during his at bats, including a ball over the centerfielder’s head in his first plate appearance.
Mantei has a tall, athletic frame that impressed on both sides of the game. Mantei went 1-for-3 with a bases-clearing triple on Thursday. Has an open stance with a high leg kick, quick hands that he utilizes to attack the top and bottom of the zone while creating loud contact. Mantei also helped his pitcher throw a complete game while limiting the baserunners from advancing.
Mantei had a strong showing in his outing against Legacy Adidas Sunday Morning. Mantei has a tall and skinny frame with room to fill out. From the right side, he throws with a H ¾ arm slot and pounds the strike zone consistently. In addition, Mantei induced weak contact throughout his outing, producing a slew of ground balls and lazy fly balls for outs. His FB sat 70-71 mph. His CB sat 62-64 mph with tight spin and produced swing and misses showing out-pitch potential.
