Slade Cecconi’s first season with the Cleveland Guardians was one of ups and downs. After coming over to Cleveland as part of the return for Josh Naylor, Cecconi didn’t end up making his Guardians debut until the middle of May due to a left oblique strain.
But it didn’t take long for him to make an impression once he was on the diamond, however, as he threw five solid innings against the Reds in his season debut and posted a 3.64 ERA through the first four starts of his Guardians career.
