PArizona Diamondbacks  
January 21, 2020
Cabrera signed with the Diamondbacks as a non-roster invitee Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Cabrera recorded a strong 2.82 ERA in his 38.1-inning debut back in 2016 but hasn't been seen in the majors since, due to a combination of elbow issues and poor performance. In 48.0 innings for Double-A Birmingham in the White Sox's system last year, he recorded a 4.50 ERA and a very poor 19.1 percent walk rate.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2017
2015
2014
Cabrera has plenty of velocity as he is one of the hardest throwers in the game with a 100.1 mph average fastball. However, it takes more than velocity to close, which is why the 23-year-old rookie only netted six saves in 2016. He has a low strikeout rate for someone with his velocity and he walks way too many batters at this stage to be used in the late innings on a consistent basis. Atlanta just gave Jim Johnson a new two-year deal, meaning Cabrera will be afforded time to improve his command, control and pitch repertoire. A positive for Cabrera is that he has yet to allow a home run at the major league level and did not allow one in 72 innings of baseball in 2015.
Control issues and a forearm injury plagued Cabrera's 2014 season, as he issued 21 free passes in 33 innings between the Gulf Coast League and High-A Lynchburg and struggled to a 7.23 ERA in 16 appearances out of the Lynchburg bullpen after his return from the forearm issue. The 21-year-old right-hander got off to a strong start upon his promotion, with a 2.61 ERA and .189 BAA in his first three starts in the Carolina League, and he did have success against lefties (.170 BAA, 16 strikeouts in 12.2 innings at Lynchburg), lending hope to a suddenly pitching-depraved Braves system that the results will be much better with a return to full health. Cabrera figures to return to a starting role to begin 2015, but until his secondary offerings start catching up to his mid-90s fastball, there will still be those that think he eventually ends up in the bullpen full-time.
Cabrera gave up just three home runs in 131.1 innings with Low-A Rome in 2013, but he walked batters at a 4.9 BB/9 clip and uncorked 16 wild pitches. Just 20 years old, he's a ways away from making an impact in the majors, but the right-hander throws hard and could at least catch the eye of those in dynasty leagues in 2014.
