Scouting Report
Top Prospect Games 6/19/18
Capehart is 6-2 with a lanky frame that has a lot of projection left to it. Throws from a higher three-quarters arm slot, long loose arm action with some quickness to it, throws with some effort. Clean simple delivery that he repeats effectively. Fastball was 83-86, touching 88, pitch gets good downward angle and some late life to it. Curveball was 73-75 with good armspeed and late 11/5 action, almost like a hard cutter with good depth.
Preseason All-State 2/17/18
Capehart is 6-1 with an athletic frame that has plenty of projection left to it. Throws from a high three-quarters arm slot with a long arm action that is quick, some effort to the delivery. Shoulders are uphill and on line, lands slightly closed with a bit of a fall off finish. Fastball was 79-81, touching 82, with good downward plane and some late armside run. Curveball was 70-72 with late 12/6 break and good armspeed, pitch has a chance to be swing and miss as it continues to sharpen. Change-up was 75-77 with good armspeed and boring action to armside.
