We’ve seen Cade multiple times this summer and this may have been his most impressive BP to date. Showed gap abilities with both sides, squaring up the baseball regular. His loft to path allows him to lift the ball naturally. A bat to follow as he matures. In the infield he plays with fluidity and is mechanically sound. Ball skills are above average for class. Lateral mobility will need to improve to stay at the shortstop position.

Switch hitter with a similar look from both sides. Path will be slightly more level from the left at times. Projectable bat that has feel for making solid contact in game and in BP.

A switch hitter that has a legit chance to continue to do both at the next level. Very similar look from both sides. Starts in a balanced setup, using a fluid/athletic load. Uphill path with natural tools on par for class. More of a contact threat at this stage but will show occasional thump from both sides. Up the middle in the infield he shows fluid actions and plays the ball out in front of his body. Would like to see him play lower at times. Transfer is smooth and efficient. Skill set in general is ahead of curve for class.

A true switch hitter with a very similar swing mechanically/physically from both sides. Movements are athletic and well timed. Showed new found physicality since we’ve seen him last. The only noticeable different from either side would be a bit more intent from right. Liked what I saw in BP. A line drive guy who should grow into gap abilities. In the infield he has feel for the spot with the ability to create angles. Ball skills are there and can make plays outside his funnel. Lateral mobility would be area for improvement.
