Andrew Cabezas

A well-regarded prospect coming out of high school in 2015, Cabezas was a then-undersized righthander who had three solid offerings including a fastball, slider and changeup. His frame is exactly the same three years later at 6-foot, 180-pounds and after a terrific season in 2017 out of the bullpen--with a 2.15 ERA, 80 strikeouts and 23 walks--Cabezas moved into a starting role this spring. His strikeout rate hasn't quite held up to the 2017 level, as Cabezas fanned 79 batters in 75 innings and his walk rate has also jumped over to more than five batters per nine innings for the first time in his collegiate career. Cabezas throws a fastball in the low 90s with exceptional late life, and uses a slider as an out-pitch. His performance in college suggest that he'd also be better in a bullpen role as a professional.
