Although that was the “juicy ball” season, that production was 32% better than the league average, as evidenced by his 132 wRC+.
He then missed the 2020 season while undergoing treatment for a colon cancer diagnosis, but made an inspiring return to the field the following year. Over the past two seasons, Mancini has established himself as a cromulant, albeit a bit short of his excellent performance in 2019:
For his part, Duvall, 34 years old and 1.85 meters tall, He is coming off a bad year with the Atlanta Braves, although he had a good performance last season. He’s always been a heavy strikeout guy and that was the case again in 2021.

I am a fan of the King of Sports, especially the Boston Red Sox in MLB and in general all of Mexican baseball. This profession has given me the opportunity to cover big events such as the Caribbean Series, LMB All Star, LMP (uninterrupted since 2009), important players’ signatures. I had the chance to attend the 2013 World Classic in Arizona, USA, albeit as an amateur. Apart from this beautiful sport, I love basketball, where I have also narrated games and even an NBA friendly 10 years ago, but baseball is in my veins. Graduated in Communication Sciences from the Autonomous University of Sinaloa (UAS). , from which I graduated in 2011. I was born in Mazatlán, Sinaloa and started in the world of sports journalism in 2004 in the newspaper El Sol de Mazatlán, where I was a baseball columnist and reporter at the same time. In January 2009 I arrived at El Debate as a journalist reporter and it took almost six years (in the first stage), until in November 2014 I emigrated to radio, providing my services at Línea Directa-Grupo RSN. My cycle there ended in July 2019 and a few days later, El Debate gave me another opportunity to work and opened the doors for me again. That is how I came to Al Bat, where I have been since 2019 as a web journalist.
