Cadena put together one of the most electric showings of the event and firmly established himself as one of the top uncommitted players in the class. The physical infielder posted a 108.8 mph max exit velocity and made a habit of flattening baseballs with authority throughout BP. He’s a dynamic athlete, running a 6.56 60 while showing a big arm across the diamond at 89 mph. Defensively, he moved with confidence and rhythm, picking it clean with ease. Cadena carries a physical presence in everything he does, and his performance turned heads. A must-follow name heading into the end of summer.
