Ricardo Cabrera - Slides down defensive spectrum Cabrera slashed .252/.331/.399 with 11 home runs and 19 steals in 105 games for Single-A Daytona before being placed on the 7-day injured list Sept. 7 with an undisclosed injury. Impact Signed in 2022 as a shortstop, Cabrera has slid down the defensive spectrum, getting 55 starts at third base and 14 starts at second base in addition to his 17 starts at shortstop this season. Cabrera's soft-hit rate (24.9%) was higher than his hard-hit rate (21.8%) at Single-A, which is troubling, as his bat will need to drive his value given the way his defense is trending. Cabrera turns 20 in October and is listed at 6-foot, 201 pounds, so he'll either need to improve his conditioning or improve his offensive output in the coming years.
