2024 Fantasy Outlook
The right-hander made his MLB debut for Arizona last season and posted a solid 4.33 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 20:4 K:BB across 27 innings while working as a swingman. Cecconi otherwise exclusively worked as a starter at Triple-A Reno but scuffled to a 6.11 ERA in 23 outings. He has plenty of prospect pedigree as the 33rd overall pick of the 2020 Draft but hasn't put up notable numbers in the minor leagues. Cecconi should compete for a spot in the Diamondbacks' rotation during spring training and will likely make some starts at some point even if he misses the Opening Day roster, but he seems unlikely to be a reliable back-end starter.

Secures first career big-league win
Cecconi (1-0) earned the win after he pitched six innings, allowing two runs on two hits while hitting a batter and striking out three in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Cecconi was called up from Triple-A Reno ahead of Sunday's contest, securing his first career major-league win. The 24-year-old tossed 4.2 no-hit innings before Thairo Estrada notched a single and Mike Yastrzemski launched a two-run homer, accounting for all the damage on Cecconi's line. Cecconi may be asked to remain in Arizona's rotation for the time being with Merrill Kelly (shoulder) uncertain moving forward and if he gets another turn in the rotation, he tentatively lines up to pitch Saturday on the road versus Seattle.

2021 Fantasy Outlook
Arizona popped Cecconi with the No. 33 overall pick last year and he already looks like one of the steals of the draft. The draft-eligible sophomore started working out 5-6 days per week when the U of Miami's season was cancelled in March. He added muscle to his 6-foot-4, 224-pound frame while improving his changeup and curveball. His mid-90s fastball and mid-80s slider were already plus pitches in college, and he showed up to the alternate training site pumping 98 mph from day one. There were concerns about his command and consistency when he was in college, and the 21-year-old righty will set out this year to prove he can maintain his electric stuff over longer outings while holding up over a full season. The team thinks he could move quickly, especially if his curveball and changeup continue to improve. Cecconi has clear frontline upside but won't come with that price tag in most dynasty leagues.
