Pro Career

Cabrera made his major league debut on June 20, 2003 with the Florida Marlins. In his first game he would hit a walk off home run to win the game.

In his second season, he would improve on his numbers and earn a selection to the National League All-Star Team. In 2005, he became the youngest player to hit at least 30 homeruns in consecutive seasons. He would also win his first Silver Slugger Award.
