Scouting Report
Updated May 18, 2026
Slade Cecconi, Cleveland Guardians RHP, has shown significant improvement after a rough start to the 2026 season. After opening 0-4 with a 6.23 ERA, he has won his last two starts. His breakthrough came when he identified and corrected his curveball grip, which is his best pitch. In his May 12 start against the Angels, he threw 4 scoreless innings with 7 strikeouts, 5 hits, and 1 walk. In his May 7 start against the Royals, he allowed 2 earned runs over 5.1 innings with 6 hits, 3 walks, and 3 strikeouts. Cecconi's recent performances show he's regaining the form that earned him a rotation spot, though control issues (3 walks in recent starts) and pitch efficiency remain concerns. Managers praise his mindset and competitiveness despite early season struggles.
