Jean Cabrera

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked Philadelphia Phillies #13 prospect in 2025
  BA Grade: 45/High
  
  Track Record: Cabrera signed with the Phillies in 2019 and then had to wait until 2021 to debut thanks to the pandemic-canceled 2020 season. He started his career in the Dominican Summer League and was impressive enough to win the organization’s pitcher of the year award, the first 19-year-old to do so since Carlos Carrasco. The righthander has made major strides in each of the last two seasons, and the 196 strikeouts he’s racked up during that span are the fourth-most in the system. He was added to the 40-man roster after the season to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.
  
  Scouting Report: Cabrera is not the most imposing pitcher, but he is unafraid to challenge hitters and pound the strike zone with all his offerings. He works with a five-pitch mix headed by four- and two-seam fastballs and backed by changeup, sweeper and cutter. The cutter is the newest part of his arsenal, added to give hitters another hard offering to consider. Cabrera’s changeup is his best pitch, a true plus offering that drove the highest swinging-strike and miss rates of any part of his repertoire in 2024. He also showed an ability to vary the break on his sweeper, which produced a miss rate of 34.7%. Cabrera is more control than command at this point, though he’s shown enough progress in that department to make evaluators believe he can stick in a rotation.
  
  The Future: Cabrera ended the 2024 season at Double-A and will likely return to the level in 2025. If he continues his upward track, a big league debut toward the end of 2025 is not out of the question.
