Track Record: Cappe was one of the more highly touted prospects in the 2021 international signing period and signed with Miami for $3 million when he was 18 years old. Cappeā€™s first pro experience came in the Dominican Summer League that year. The lanky shortstop showed well, hitting .270 with 20 extra-base hits. After a productive 2022 campaign that was split between the Florida Complex League and Low-A Jupiter, Cappe spent the entire 2023 season at High-A Beloit. He hit just .220 but laced 26 doubles and swiped 19 bases while making three quarters of his starts at second base.

Scouting Report: Cappe has a tall, upright stance with a low handset and a loose operation. He has a slight load with his hands, a high leg kick and some present bat speed. Much of his damage and power is to the pull side, but given his physical projection and the likelihood of his frame to fill out, there is more impact on the way. Cappe struck out nearly 20% in 2023 and his approach will need refining as his overall chase rate was 38%. He particularly struggles against spin, which is the root of most of his swing-and-miss. However, he was just 20 years old in the notoriously pitcher-friendly Midwest League and has a track record of showing an advanced hit tool. Cappe has a chance to grow into at least average power, a tool he can supplement with a potentially above-average hit tool. He is an average runner and a bit clunky defensively, and his future home could be in the outfield.

The Future: Cappe will have a chance to progress to Double-A Pensacola by the end of the 2024 season. Once his positional future is solidified, he has the potential to be an impact bat as an everyday member of a big league lineup.
