Scouting Report:
Capellan works with an arsenal of three pitches that he mixes in well.
His fastball sits around 89-91 mph and moves slightly away from righties
and in on lefties. Doesn't get enough swings-and-misses with his
fastball, but he does have good enough command to paint corners. His
mid-70s curveball is above-average to plus with a nice bite, but Capellan still needs to
perfect his command of the pitch. The curve is his best
pitch, and he uses it to get out of jams very well. Variations of
his curve can also
get up to the mid-80s with a slurve-type movement. His changeup sits around
78-79 mph and is average-to-above-average. Capellan's 3/4
delivery is fairly smooth and repeatable. As a lefty, he has a quick
sidearm pickoff move to first base. Great clubhouse guy, mature and
intimidating mound presence. Good focus. Needs to work on
keeping his weight down. Poor fielder.
