Mack's Mets #14 organizational prospect is......



#14 SS Gavin Cecchini (LR:#10)
Bats: R Throws: R
Height: 6' 2" Weight: 180 lb
Acquired: 2012 Rule 5 Draft, 1st Round, Alfred M. Barbe High School (Louisiana)

2013: (SS-A) .259/.305/.315, 0 HR, 3 RBI, 2 SB (50%), 4 BB, 9 K
2012: (R/SS-A) .240/.307/.321, 1 HR, 22 RBI, 5 SB (56 %), 18 BB, 44 K

Sandy Alderson's 2012 1st round draft pick is with the Brooklyn Cyclones and quite frankly it hasn't gone much better than his time with Kingsport. In 15 games so far his batting average is still sub .260 with little power. To be fair though that's a very small sample size. A 5 game hit streak can quickly skew the numbers the other way. The kid is still very young so we won't exactly know if he was worth the 1st round pick or not for at least another 2-3 years but at least there are some encouraging signs. His K rate in Brooklyn is now below 15% and he is showing that he has the quickness and range to stick at SS long term. He'll finish the season with Brooklyn and continue progressing slowly through the system.
