The right-handed Cecconi is ranked by MLB Pipeline as the No. 9 prospect in the team’s farm system.
He has gone 4-8 with a 6.38 ERA and 1.32 WHIP over the course of 20 starts for Triple-A Reno this season.
The right-hander’s 5.7 percent BB rate ranked fifth among Double-A qualifiers, and he’s been trending in the right direction in that regard. But he needs a consistent third pitch to become a true rotation option, and as he enters his Rule 5 year, it might be worth seeing how the fastball-slider combo plays in shorter spurts soon.
Walston has a 1:1 K / BB ratio which is no bueno. But at this point maybe bring him up and maybe he works things out in bigs.Surprised Walston isn’t getting the chance. Look forward to seeing what Cecconi can do though. He’s had a pretty quick ride through the system.
Definitely a work in progress.xc_hide_links_from_guests_guests_error_hide_media
Yeah a pitch that originally was called a hit batter, that is deflected into the nuts of your catcher, who heads up catches the ball for a tipped third strike, is awesome! "Went into the catcher's glove, " LOL!xc_hide_links_from_guests_guests_error_hide_media
