New York Yankees fans amazed by Oswaldo Cabrera's continued dominance in Spring Training: "Superstar in the making," "He’s gonna make an All-Star run"

The New York Yankees' Opening Day roster is still undecided, but Oswaldo Cabrera is making a compelling case that he belongs in it. A dominant performance throughout all of Spring Training is a great indicator that Cabrera is ready to be an everyday starter for the team. There is no guarantee he will be able to make the transition successfully, but he has all the tools to do so.

Cabrera played in 47 regular season games in 2022 with a batting average of .247. That is a very respectable mark for a player making his big league debut under heavy scrutiny. In Spring Training thus far, he has a batting average of .310 and is showing clear improvement.

Talkin' Yanks posted these stats along with a recent home run, which stirred up some excitement on Twitter.

The New York Yankees struggled to find an offense late in the season last year and want to avoid that. Other than a literal historic campaign from Aaron Judge, the Yankees didn't have much working when it mattered most. Their inability to generate offense was a direct cause of their series loss to the Houston Astros. Fans believe Cabrera is key to avoiding that same fate this year.

The Yankees have historically been cautious about playing their young players too soon and risk damaging their development. Fans will always want to see the new players come in and test their mettle, but the timing has to be right. In the case of Oswaldo Cabrera, now certainly seems to be the time to give him the reins and a permanent spot in the lineup.

MLB is an offense-driven league at the moment, but Cabrera could also fill the much-needed left-field spot for the Yankees. Putting a rookie in an important defensive position could cause some issues. However, if he can keep up this level of production, any growing pains will be well worth it.

The New York Yankees still have some important decisions to make that could shape their 2023 season.

Oswaldo Cabrera and Anthony Volpe are two great young prospects expected to make significant contributions in 2023. They could help turn around the offense after its decline last season.

A new season means new opportunities for veterans and prospects alike. The New York Yankees will likely keep their roster fluid and move pieces around as needed.
