At FT of 45 man sng the other day. I was midstack (about 6000 chips), blinds were in the 200/400 range. 6 players left.
I get 2c9h in the BB. Normally, I fold this to any raise or check fold.
But I decided to "defend my blind" since there is little chance of picking it up if I check it in.

2 limpers ahead, I raise 4xBB.
1 caller. (another mid stack)
Flop comes rags (I didn't even look except to verify no paint)
I push.

Too aggro?

Not enough information.

What was the caller like? What position was he in?

It's a risky play because your doing all of this OOP without a read (as far as we know). If your opponent hit, he'll give action, if he missed he will fold.

As we can see, my memory of this hand was not exactly precise... but here it is...

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

saw flop|saw showdown

MP2 (t2925)
MP3 (t6405)
CO (t760)
Button (t2133)
SB (t2685)
Hero (t2950)
UTG (t838)
UTG+1 (t3776)
MP1 (t2228)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 2, 9.
4 folds, MP3 calls t150, 1 fold, Button calls t150, SB completes, Hero raises to t600, MP3 folds, Button calls t450, SB folds.
