See Full Verdict + Share Card →Cádiz is the ultimate aerial lightning rod in Liga MX, a physical anomaly who wins 3.36 headers per 90—placing him in the elite top 5% of the league’s target men. While his 66.2% pass accuracy suggests a lack of technical refinement, the data reveals a far more creative engine than the "bruiser" tag implies; his 1.58 key passes and 0.32 assists per 90 are both top-tier metrics that prove he is a facilitator, not just a finisher. The counterintuitive insight lies in his shot volume: despite a bottom-decile dribble rate of 0.21, he manages nearly four shots per game, indicating an elite ability to find space through positioning rather than ball-carrying.
