Gavin Glenn Christopher Joseph Cecchini [1] (/ˈɡɛərvən ˈkni/; born December 22, 1993) is a minor league baseball shortstop for the New York Mets organization.

Cecchini was born in Lake Charles, Louisiana and attended Alfred M. Barbe High School. He was drafted by the Mets in the 2012 MLB Draft in the 1st round (12th overall pick). Cecchini began his career in 2012 at Kingsport Mets and then was promoted to Brooklyn Cyclones to end the season. He began the 2014 baseball season as a member of the Savannah Sand Gnats.

Prior to the 2012 MLB draft, Cecchini was regarded by Perfect Game as "good athlete, highest level hitter and outstanding middle infield tools".[2] Baseball America ranked him as the #2 prospect in the Mets system and the Applachian League #12 prospect following the 2012 season.[3]

He is the younger brother of Milwaukee Brewers infielder Garin Cecchini. His father, Glenn Cecchini, was also Gavin's coach at Barbe High School.[4]
