Mitch Cappleman
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. If you're going in to face Cappleman, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. He's trying to develop a sinker, but as of yet it's been well below par. The running movement on his pitches makes life tougher on lefties than righties.
Defense & Hitting He hurts himself by falling awkwardly off the mound in his follow-through, which allows too many balls to go through the middle for base hits. Cappleman does a very poor job of holding baserunners because of his deliberate move to home plate. Cappleman is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Cappleman has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Cappleman as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook Cappleman was a rule-five pickup for the Retired or Inactive Players last year. I think The Retired or Inactive Players just didn't want to be left out of the Rule-V draft, why else would you sign Cappleman? But if you ask me, I'll pass on Cappleman.
