JUPITER, Fla. -- Acquired by the Cardinals to help supplement their left-handed pitching depth, Genesis Cabrera, with a dazzling first impression, has quickly put himself on the radar as someone who could help the Major League club as soon as this season.
Cabrera -- ranked by MLB Pipeline as the Cards' No. 13 prospect -- enters his first Major League camp on the heels of a sensational winter ball season. Pitching out of the bullpen in the Dominican Winter League, Cabrera struck out 21 while walking two and allowing two runs over 14 1/3 innings.
