Starlyn Caba
Hitting scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Caba looks like a high-probability big-league middle infielder because the glove and baseball IQ already fit a premium role, and the offensive foundation is at least functional. The path to an everyday shortstop outcome hinges on adding enough strength and contact quality to keep pitchers honest, but he does not need to become a power bat to be valuable. If the hit tool settles in around average with his on-base habits intact, he can be an everyday regular with top-of-the-order traits; if the bat stalls, the defense still gives him a path to utility value. The floor is fairly sturdy, but the ceiling is driven by whether the current offensive gains can become more than just a on-base profile.
