BA: Gavin Cecchini #12 Prospect in Appy League  Baseball America
named Gavin Cecchini,  the Mets’ top pick, the 12th overall pick
this year, the #12 prospect in a loaded Appalachian League. Matt
Eddy began his League top 20 with Byron Buxton, Courtney Hawkins
(#13 overall this year) and Bubba Starling.  He wrote of
Cecchini in part:  He possesses the footwork, hands and range to
be an average shortstop, but he’ll need to further develop his
average though accurate arm to seal the deal. He has average
speed and is a plus baserunner.  Cecchini probably won’t develop
more than gap power, but if he can stay in the middle infield it
won’t matter because he has a chance to hit for average. … He
can get too aggressive and he has a lot of moving parts to his
swing, but he makes hard line-drive contact when he barrels the
ball.
