WASHINGTON – The numbers from his last start don’t seem impressive.
But Triple-A Rochester manager Matt LeCroy feels good about right-hander Cade Cavalli, the top pitching prospect for the Nationals.
In his last start on Friday, the former University of Oklahoma star went 4.2 innings and gave up seven runs, six earned, and no walks with six strikeouts against Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
“He used his changeup a lot more,” LeCroy said.
That came after he went 5.1 innings and didn’t allow a hit on April 30 against the Syracuse Mets.
“He is getting more confident,” LeCroy told Federal Baseball on Monday.
