His season batting average now sits at .264, and while his overall power numbers aren't eye-popping, performances like this could hint at more consistent production. Fantasy managers should note Cave's solid .301 wOBA and .344 BABIP, indicating his hits are well-earned. However, his high strikeout rate and low walk rate suggest a cautious approach in relying on him for consistent fantasy output.
