A typical high 70 mph hanging curveball that Kershaw uses to make most elite batters look foolish, was right where Cecchini wanted it.
The second basemen deposited it over the left-field fence, scoring Travis Travis d’Arnaud, and quickly suited all Dodger fans.
According to MLB.com, Cecchini is the Mets’ No. 6 prospect. However, he looked like an experienced veteran on that one.
Last Thursday, in response to Neil Walker’s hamstring injury. Gavin Cecchini was called up from Triple-A Las Vegas.
Many wondered why Terry Collins decided to play Cecchini at the last minute before this one. Now, Collins looks like a genius, and New York may have just found their new secret weapon.
