WTM’s PLAYER PROFILE
Cimillo played three years at Manhattan College, then transferred to Rutgers for his senior year.  He hit well starting with his freshman year, when he batted .350.  At Rutgers, he had a big year, hitting 385/492/707, with 16 home runs and more walks (39) than strikeouts (36).  He’s also hit well, with good power, in summer ball.  The caveats would be that he didn’t play in top baseball conferences and big senior seasons should be viewed with a little skepticism.
