Draft Prospects

  School: Temecula (Calif.) Valley HS Source: HS

  Age At Draft: 18.2
  Cecil wasn’t a prominent pitching prospect on the summer showcase circuit, but he was a late pop-up player late in the 2023 spring. He’s a deep projection lefthander with an extremely lanky and thin, 6-foot-4, 160 pound frame who was throwing in the mid 80s about a year ago. Now he’s pitching more in the 87-90 mph range with some reports of touching 93-94 at peak velocity. He also has feel to throw a breaking ball that could become an average pitch with more power as he gains physicality, and has mixed in a changeup as well. Cecil has positive indicators with his massively projectable frame, velocity trend, loose arm and feel to spin the baseball, but the current minor league system doesn’t incentivize teams to be patient with this sort of profile in pro ball. Scouts remain excited about what he could like three years down the road, and he could be a potential draft-and-follow target if he chooses the juco route. He’s currently uncommitted.
