The 2011 sixth round draft pick out of high school is often an after thought when people talk about the plethora of Yankees prospects toiling away down on the farm.
For Cave, it’s been a bumpy road, as a broken kneecap cost him the entire 2012 season. Obviously, losing a large chunk of developmental time caused the Virginia native to play catch up, but in 2017, his left-handed bat has truly come alive.
Following a promotion to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in mid-June, Cave has compiled a .314/.361/.580 slash line with 18 home runs, 51 RBI and 56 runs scored on the season.
