Cade Cavalli, a starter for the Washington Nationals, has worked to a 7-4 record across 22 starts and 110.2 innings while posting a 3.58 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, and 10.33 strikeouts per nine. The R-hander has shown the kind of bat-missing ability that can change a game quickly, giving him meaningful upside even when the overall line has moved around from outing to outing.
His profile is built on power stuff and the ability to miss barrels when he is ahead in counts, but the key to his consistency is fastball command and limiting free passes. With a 2.77 walk rate, there is some built-in volatility, and that can push up pitch counts or create trouble when traffic builds. Even so, the swing-and-miss element gives him room to work through mistakes and remain a relevant fantasy and matchup option.

Cade Cavalli has pitched to a down trend lately, though the path has not been perfectly smooth. The recent stretch shows both the ceiling and the risk, with dominant swing-and-miss outings mixed in with shorter appearances where command and efficiency became bigger issues. That blend makes him a pitcher who can outperform expectations when his release point and secondary feel are locked in.
Going forward, he looks like a worthwhile arm to monitor closely because the raw arsenal is strong enough to support better run prevention than a surface read might suggest.
