Player Notes
| Cecchini picked up in his Triple-A debut where he’d left off in 2015, when he’d ranked among the Eastern League leaders in all three slash line stats – batting (.317), OBP (.377) and SLG (.442), adding seven homers and 51 RBIs along with 26 doubles at Binghamton (Double-A). While he doesn’t boast big-time power, he’ll produce with the bats and get his share of extra-base hits and seems to have really come on at the plate in his last two seasons. Defensively, he’s solid enough in all areas and won’t embarrass himself at shortstop, though second base or a super-utility role is not out of the question down the line. |
