WTM’S PIRATE PLAYER PROFILES |
Despite very good results, the Pirates left Cadet in the Dominican Summer League for three years. He throws around 86-88 with a lot of movement on his fastball. His best pitch is a curve, but his command is shaky.
2009 Cadet had a good debut pitching in relief in the DSL, with excellent numbers across the board. That included a very low walk rate for an inexperienced pitcher. 2010 Cadet moved to the rotation and put up similar numbers, except for a much-reduced K rate. 2011 DSL: 2-2-0, 1.22 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, 37.0 IP, 5.6 BB/9, 10.5 K/9 Back in the DSL for a third season, Cadet pitched mostly as a starter but only in short stints. His K rate was very high, but so was his walk rate. 2012 Cadet spent 2012 in the GCL at age 21, pitching in relief. He struck out a lot of batters and improved his control. Cadet pitched well enough to move up at least to the New York-Penn League. Considering his age, the Pirates may want to try him at West Virginia at some point. |
