Cabbage grew up in Blaine, Tennessee. He attended Grainger High School in Rutledge, where he played for the school's baseball and basketball teams. He committed to attend the University of Tennessee to play college baseball for the Tennessee Volunteers.[1] Cabbage was named a third team All-American in his senior year.[2]
Minnesota Twins
The Minnesota Twins selected Cabbage in the fourth round, with the 110th overall selection, of the 2015 MLB draft.[2] He signed with the Twins, receiving a $760,000 signing bonus, which was $242,100 more than the recommended value for the 110th slot.[3] Cabbage made his professional debut with the rookie-level Gulf Coast Twins, hitting .252 with 13 runs batted in (RBIs) in 33 games.[4]
Cabbage played for the rookie-level Elizabethton Twins in 2016, hitting .204/.297/.337 with two home runs and eight RBIs in 31 games. He returned to the team in 2017, and hit .240 in 13 games before he was promoted to the Single-A Cedar Rapids Kernels.[5] In 2018, he spent the entire year with Cedar Rapids, playing in 99 games and hitting .244/.307/.403 with eight home runs and 45 RBIs.[6] Cabbage split the 2019 season between Cedar Rapids and the High-A Fort Myers Miracle, playing in 99 games and hitting .239/.306/.447 with 15 home runs and 53 RBIs.[7]
Cabbage did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[8] He started the 2021 season with Cedar Rapids and was promoted to the Double-A Wichita Wind Surge in July.[9] In 108 games, Cabbage batted a cumulative .264/.346/.535 with 27 home runs and 82 RBIs.[10] He elected free agency following the season on November 7, 2021.[11]
Los Angeles Angels

Cabbage was assigned to the Triple-A Salt Lake Bees to begin the 2023 season, marking his first stint at the Triple-A level.[16] On April 19, 2023, Cabbage hit a 487-foot (148 m) home run off Tommy Henry of the Reno Aces.[17] In 81 games for Salt Lake, he hit .287/.358/.576 with 23 home runs, 64 RBIs, and 24 stolen bases.
