Slade Cecconi had struggled a bit in his first two outings in the Arizona Fall League. In his first game he had control issues, walking 4 batters, although he didn’t allow a run in just two innings of work. In his second game he worked in relief, and gave up 5 hits and 3 runs in 3 innings. In both those outings he seemed to lose velocity quickly and just looked like a guy shaking off the rust and trying to build up strength.
Last night didn’t get off to a great start either. Cecconi was spotted a 1-0 lead in the first thanks to a Cooper Hummel bases load walk.
