| Summary: Cazares brings an athletic, whippy arm that already produces fastballs up to 96 with late life. He works with intent and deception, using a big leg kick to generate momentum down the mound. The heater shows heavy two-seam run when thrown to the arm side, creating tough angles on righthanders and keeping the ball off barrels. His delivery is compact and repeatable, giving him a foundation to remain in a rotation role. The slider is gaining bite in the low 80s, flashing sharp shape with improving power, while his changeup shows real dip and fade when executed in the low 80s. Both secondaries give him a chance to hold a three-pitch starter’s mix, though consistency in command will determine how quickly the arsenal reaches its ceiling. With refinement, Cazares has the tools to develop into a steady rotation piece. | |||||||||||
