Cavaco, who turned 18 the day before the draft, has committed to play at San Diego State.
After an impressive senior season, the right-handed hitter shot up boards to become one of the top pop-up prospects in the draft.
Cavaco played at the same high school as Adrian Gonzalez who was taken in the first round by the Marlins in 2000.
