You know, if you want to hop to baseball, Siobhan, and you like looking at data in game as I do, but just sit back and enjoy them.
The breaking ball sick, the changeups insane, and he's going to blow your mind.
It could be, but I just, I don't think, this may be harsh, but I don't think he has a ton of command.
Like the reason he's good is because this stuff is insane.
Like he's a guy where you just set up central target pre-two strike and you're like, if you get the ball anywhere in this box, we are happy.
Like he's like a starter version of Daniel Palencia.
Like anytime Palencia talks about command, I like cringe up.
I'm like, I don't think that guy's ever going to be able to command the ball.
That's not a problem though.
He's just going to rip 100 miles per hour over the plate, and you're not going to hit it because the sheet's insane.
Like, we don't need to complain about how he can't command the ball.
Like, it's way overrated with guys with big stuff, in my opinion.
And I think that applies to Cabrera.
I just want in zone, roughly in zone.
Not, like, hard of zone, but, like, if he can be in the box, he's going to be fine because the stuff's so good.
It's really weird.
Yeah, it mimes the shape of his sinker.
It's just a lower spin rate, so the ball's not spinning as much.
He's throwing it with slightly weaker fingers, so it's a little slower than the sinker.
But I struggle with how โ I obviously never stood in the box against Eric Cabrera, but I'd love to talk to โ and I'm going to try to this year as teams come in and out โ what the visual is for a hitter on that pitch.
