Rochester Manager: Cade Cavalli Is Ready

WASHINGTON – In his last start for Triple-A Rochester, right-handed starter Cade Cavalli threw 109 pitches – 69 for strikes.

That was on Sunday at Worcester, the top farm team of the Boston Red Sox, and was enough to convince the Nationals that Cavalli was ready for the Major Leagues.

“His last three or four outings have been really good,” Rochester manager Matt LeCroy told Federal Baseball on Thursday.

“His fastball command has been a lot better. His secondary pitches, especially his curveball, have been a strike pitch for him.”
