On Saturday against the Philadelphia Phillies, Gavin Cecchini recorded his first major league hit and RBI!
He had a successful night at the plate, going 2-for-3 with two doubles and two RBI. The second double hit the top of the wall, just missing his first MLB home run.
“You’re always trying to win regardless of what the score is,” Cecchini said. “When we were put in, the score was 10-0. We’re not going out there and just going through the motions. We’re trying to put together good at bats and get back into the game.”
It was a night to remember for Cecchini, taking advantage of extended playing time and having a taste of success at the big league level. The 22-year-old showed his ability to hit the ball with some authority, smashing both doubles.
Cecchini is now 2-for-5 since making his MLB debut on September 11. Before being promoted to the Mets, Cecchini hit to a .325/.390/.448 slash line with eight homers, 27 doubles and 55 RBI while also helping to produce 71 runs for AAA Las Vegas.
