2015 Monday Morning Mets Minors Players of the Week

Thoughts from after he was drafted

May 18-24

            Keeping track of the hottest minor leaguers in the Mets farm system.

Hitter of the Week: A two homerun week from Gavin Cecchini earns him the honors. He's a 21-year old shortstop who is controlling the zone (8.8 K%: 6.6 BB%) and hitting for power (.182 ISO) in his first taste of AA. #CecchiniRaking

Starting Pitcher of the Week: It’s hard to overlook some great choices, but Duane Below threw a ‘Greg Maddux’ (CG SO, less than 100 pitches) in the PCL, which is ridiculous.

Relief Pitcher of the Week: Matt Koch has been great since being moved to the B-Mets bullpen, allowing only 1 run over his last 8 appearances: 0.63 ERA, 14.1 IP, 12 H, 8 K: 0 BB

Team of the Week: The Savannah Sand Gnats have been rolling since Eudor Garcia joined the lineup. He’s been an upgrade over what Pedro Perez was providing offensively, but the Gnats have also had some guys getting on base more often lately.
