28. OF Darrell Ceciliani
Cecilliani was drafted in the fourth round of the 2009 draft by
the Mets.
He immediately signed and played the entire season for
Kingsport, going .234/.313/.310/.623 in 158 at bats. Only eight of his 37 hits
went for extra bases.
6-30-10: - Cecilliani went 3-4 Monday night, which raised his
2010 Brooklyn batting average to .409. Yes, all three were singles, but he
still has produced six extra base hits this season, only two less than he did
all last season for Kingsport. Ceciliani was a questionable fourth round draft
pick last season and most draft experts had him in the 8-15th round projected
area. That being said, he’s off to a great start this season, and hopefully
we’ll see his first professional home run soon.
7-9-10: - Cecilliani continued to rake, going 3-4 last night
against State College. He also stole three bases and raised his hitting stats
for the season to: .392/.442/.608/1.050.
7-19-10: - As of 7-19, Ceciliani is leading the NY-Penn league
in hitting, with a .397 batting average.
8-6-10: - Ceciliani continues to have one hell of a season with
Brooklyn. He went 3-5, 1-2B, 1-HR, 4-RBI last night and raised his batting
average to .382. Normally, I would say that he is due for a promotion, but I
wouldn't be surprised to see the Mets keep him in Brooklyn so they have a
better chance in the playoffs. Either way, he's a lock to play next season for
St. Lucie, which means a skip over Savannah.
1-28-11 – This was an absolutely wonderful surprise pick in
2009. No one’s quite sure if he can maintain the levels he created in Brooklyn,
but he’ll get another chance, probably in Savannah, in the spring. Let’s hope
the new Mets brass aren’t into rushing high school kids like Omar was.
4-9-12 - Stock Up
- CF Darrell Cecilliani – a walk
off home run always gets you a ‘stock up’ and Darrell had quite a night on 4-9,
going 4-5 and raising his young BA to .444. ‘DC’ is healthy again.
