Trey Mancini is battling stage 3 colon cancer in the age of COVID-19, but he isn’t going at it alone.

The Orioles surprised their first baseman and outfielder Saturday on a Zoom call with nearly 40 players and coaches holding up signs reading “#F16HT” — the new rallying cry for Mancini, who wears No. 16.

Manager Brandon Hyde and players Chris Davis, Hanser Alberto, DJ Stewart, Chance Sisco and Austin Hays were among those participating on the call, which had Mancini flashing a big smile.

Mancini left the team in March for what was called a “non-medical baseball procedure” at the time. The 28-year-old revealed last week that he began six months of chemotherapy on April 13, which came after he had a malignant tumor surgically removed from his colon on March 12. Mancini does not expect to play this year — if baseball is played at all.

Because of the restrictions put in place because of coronavirus, Mancini has been forced to undergo chemotherapy by himself at a hospital in Baltimore, but said keeping in touch with his teammates through the process has made a big difference.

“Really, the support I’ve gotten from everyone has just been unbelievable,” Mancini wrote in The Players’ Tribune. “It’s given me an appreciation for a lot of things that I’ve always had, but that were getting overlooked as I went about my day-to-day life. Going through something like this had really made me understand all my blessings.

“Like the text chain that I’m on with my teammates. We actually have a big team group chat. It’s always been going, but it means even more to me now. I’ve been keeping in touch with them and updating them with everything going on. Those exchanges mean so much to me now. I love those guys.”
