SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — The scripted Spanish on Gustavo Cabrera's muscled right forearm, from the Book of Isaiah, proclaims a miracle.
The English Standard Version translates Chapter 41, verse 13: "For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, `Fear not, I am the one who helps you."The words remind him. The 10-inch scar reminds him. The fact he has a functioning right hand at all — that reminds him, too.And this spring, when Cabrera, a 20-year-old blue-chip outfield prospect, fans out his fingers, wraps them around a bat and swats a baseball 420 feet, it serves as more than a reminder of all that has happened since that traumatic day in November 2013.
