Former Mustang, Cerreto Earns MiLB Honor Again  Former Martinsville Mustangs standout Phil Cerreto (Longwood, photo courtesy of Kenny Wagner) was named the Appalachian League’s Offensive Player of the Week for the week ending August 8. Cerreto, picked by the Cardinals in the 40th round this year, is off to a phenomenal start to August. He had three hits in three of his four games this week, scored in all of them and notched at least one RBI in all but one of them. He was 3-for-5 with a pair of doubles, three runs scored, three RBIs and a stolen base on Monday, and he was 3-for-5 with another double, another run scored, two more RBIs and another stolen base on Tuesday. He doubled again and scored in Game 1 of Friday’s doubleheader, and he homered and singled twice to knock in three, score twice and go 3-for-3 in the nightcap. Currently, Cerreto is batting .420 with 37 RBIs and 26 runs scored for Johnson City. Cerreto was named the Coastal Plain League Hitter of the Year in 2009 after finishing with a .351 average. Of his 72 hits on the summer, 16 were doubles, four were triples, and another eight were home runs. He racked up 40 RBIs and 33 runs scored while also tallying 120 total bases. Cerreto was also named as a CPL All-Star and won the All-Star Home Run Derby crown. The Coastal Plain League is the nation’s hottest summer collegiate baseball league. Celebrating its 14th season, the Coastal Plain League features 15 teams playing in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. The CPL gives college players the chance to refine their skills with the use of wooden bats. Players are housed with local host families for the summer and past experiences have been very positive for both players and hosts. Furthermore, the CPL has had over 800 alumni drafted and 37 alums make their Major League debut thus far.
