Back to EpisodesYeremy Cabrera: Nationals' Speedy, Defensive Prospect
Description
Yeremy Cabrera, a 20-year-old outfielder, is the fifth piece in the MacKenzie Gore trade, but dont underestimate him. He boasts elite center field defense, blazing speed, and promising hitting skills. Cabreras defense is his standout feature, earning him a sixty-grade defender rating from Baseball America and a fifty-five from Pipeline. He won Rangers Minor League Defender of the Year in 2021 and stole 43 bases last season. Despite signing for just $10,000 in 2022, Cabreras stock has soared. In A-ball, he hit .256 with a .730 OPS, a 120 wRC+, and a .364 on-base percentage. His raw power is evident with 110 mph exit velocities. Next year, expect Cabrera at High-A Wilmington, where hell likely see plenty of center field time. With speed and defense as his foundation, Cabrera could become a solid fourth outfielder or more.
