Edward Cabrera put together his most complete season in 2025, logging a career-high 137.2 innings with a 3.53 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and a career-best 8.3% walk rate. The improved command was the key development, as his strikeout rate (25.8%) remained comfortably above league average while his BB% dipped closer to MLB norms (8.4%). Cabrera's 90.0 mph average exit velocity and 46.5% hard-hit rate show there's still some volatility, but his 3.83 FIP and 9.8 K/9 support the overall skills growth. If the 2026 projections hold around similar strikeout production with manageable walks, Cabrera profiles as a high-upside SP3 in fantasy with room for more if the control gains stick. The health and workload trend from 2025 is equally important after earlier durability concerns. He's best deployed as a strikeout-leaning arm in roto formats, but the narrowed walk rate gives him a higher weekly floor than in previous seasons.
