B-Mets Cecchini Added to All-Star Classic Roster
July 2, 2015 - Eastern League (EL1)
Binghamton Rumble Ponies News Release
BINGHAMTON, NY - The Eastern League has announced the addition of Binghamton Mets shortstop Gavin Cecchini to the Eastern Division roster for the All-Star Classic to be played in Portland on Wednesday, July 15. Cecchini enjoys his second straight All-Star honor after representing the Savannah Sand Gnats at the South Atlantic League All-Star Game in 2014.
Cecchini, 21, joins Brandon Nimmo, Josh Rodriguez, Luis Cessa and Paul Sewald as the B-Mets representatives to the League's annual talent showcase. In his first full season at Double-A the Lake Charles, Louisiana native is hitting .280 with five home runs and 30 RBI. The Mets first overall pick in the 2012 draft etched his name into B-Mets lore last year by scoring the game-winning rule to clinch the franchise's first Eastern League championship in 20 years.
The B-Mets (39-38) continue their final regular season visit to Jerry Uht Park in 2015 on Thursday night at 7:05 PM. RHP Gabriel Ynoa makes his second start of the road trip and faces RHP Austin Kubitza. The Horizons Federal Credit Union Pregame Show can be heard starting at 6:50 PM on Newsradio 1290 WNBF and the Binghamton Mets channel on TuneIn.
