2019
Cave entered last season as a 30-year-old without much of a major-league track record but nonetheless earned an Opening Day start in left field for the defending National League champions. Cave spent April on the strong side of a platoon for the Phillies but was sent down at the start of May after hitting .222/.286/.333 in 70 trips to the plate. He returned to play a part-time role throughout the second half, but his 207/.265/.355 slash line in a further 133 plate appearances wasn't meaningfully different. That means he enters this season as a 31-year-old without much of a major-league track record, and the odds of him doing something fantasy-relevant with whatever role he earns this season seem slim. He's flashed a bit of power at times in his career but managed a modest 34.8 percent hard hit rate last season. That pairs poorly with his elevated strikeout rate, which came in at 27.1 percent last year and 31.4 percent for his career.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Opportunity keeps growing
Cave officially made the Phillies Opening Day roster, and he will be tasked for a larger role with Rhys Hoskins being set to miss all of 2023 with an ACL tear.
ANALYSIS
Cave posted a mammoth 1.301 OPS across 54 plate appearances in spring training. The 30-year-old's enhanced opportunity unfortunately comes about as a result of Hoskins' season-ending injury, but the Phillies are nonetheless thankful for his hot bat.
