Brooks Caple
Pitching scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Given the size, strike-throwing gains, and two workable primary pitches, the most realistic path is a multi-inning reliever who can spot start in a pinch. If the fastball plays closer to its top end with ride and the breaking ball tightens into a consistent above-average weapon, there is an outside shot at a low-leverage middle relief ceiling. More likely, he settles as an up-and-down depth arm who can cover innings, especially if the changeup does not become a true weapon against opposite-handed hitters. Durability and improved command give him a decent floor as solid organizational depth, with a narrow lane to a stable bullpen role if the stuff ticks another half-grade across the board. Continued refinement of strike quality and sharpening of one carrying offspeed pitch will dictate how quickly he climbs.
