Cecchini looking to get on track in 2012 (1.17.2012)

Scouting Report: Tall and athletic frame, strong all-around tools. Sweet swing from the left side. Excellent batspeed and hip rotation in swing mechanics. Upward swing path through hitting zone and creates solid extension to produce backspin when squaring offerings up. Shows ability to drive the ball to all fields with lift. Slightly above-average power potential. Developing plate patience. Struggles with breaking balls. Tends to get too far out on front foot. Solid-average speed, but not likely to be a factor as he continues to physically develop. Played shortstop and second base in high school, but transitioned to third base as a professional. Soft hands. Needs improvement with reads off of bat. Can be stiff and slow with reactions. Plus arm. Tools to become a solid-average defender at the hot corner. High baseball IQ. Quick learner and makes adjustments. Wrist fracture cut short first pro season. Ceiling of an All-Star caliber third baseman.
