Edward Cabrera is a fantasy baseball waiver wire pickup for pitchers heading into Week 11 (2023). Target Cabrera as a free agent pitcher on the waiver wire.
BALLER MOVE: Add in all leagues
ROSTERED IN: 49% of leagues
ANALYSIS:
Cabrera is hovering right around the 50% ownership mark, and he's certainly not available in many leagues deeper than 12-teamers, but he's under the threshold at this moment so I want to mention him.
We have long known that Cabrera has elite stuff. He currently sits with the eighth-best strikeout rate among pitchers with at least seven starts.
| Pitcher | K% |
| Spencer Strider | 41.7% |
| Shohei Ohtani | 33.8% |
| Matt Strahm | 33.1% |
| Hunter Greene | 33.1% |
| Kevin Gausman | 32.9% |
| Mitch Keller | 30.4% |
| Clayton Kershaw | 30.0% |
| Edward Cabrera | 29.9% |
| MacKenzie Gore | 29.8% |
| Kodai Senga | 29.8% |
The problem with the young righty has always been the walk. He currently sports a horrific 14.2% BB% - the fourth-worst in the league.
The plus is that Cabrera has walked one or fewer hitters in three of his last four outings while maintaining an elite strikeout rate. His 22.7% K-BB% since May began is 16th-best in the league, quite a good sign.
I have no doubt that there will be some more of these disastrous outings where he walks a handful, survives only three innings, and murders your team's WHIP for that week - but I am just as confident that he will balance that out with some absolute gems. Cabrera should be rostered in 12-team leagues or deeper.
