Slade Cecconi can honestly say no pitcher in MLB had a first strikeout like his.
"After review, the pitched ball hit the bat, went into the catcher's glove. The call is overturned. It's a foul ball strike three," crew chief Dan Iassogna explained to the crowd, neglecting to mention the true destination of the ball.
Cecconi proceeded to throw 4 2/3 innings, allowing four hits and two earned runs while walking one and striking out two. The D-BacksArizona seemed to have some fun with the play, as manager Torey Lovullo told reporters after the game, via"It's going to be talked about for a long time," Lovullo said."You can't dream up how you get your first career strikeout. Look, one day he'll be able to tell a great story about my first one and nobody will believe it.
Herrera even went in depth on how you try to catch a ball with your groin, which was apparently painless: "It wasn't supposed to be like that for his first strikeout," Herrera said with a laugh."It was good that we got it for him. I held the ball long enough. I tried to hold it with my pants as long as I could. It was the first time in my career that something like that happened and I kept holding the ball. It was pretty special."
Cecconi is ranked as the No. 9 prospect in the Diamondbacks' system by MLB Pipeline, mostly thanks to a strong fastball-slider combination combined with a low walk rate. He is one of many young prospects making their way into the majors with Arizona these days, but he definitely had the most memorable first impression.
