Cappetto will be a riser in our next rankings update with some of the highest upside in the class. The SIU-Edwardsville recruit owns a big league frame, standing at 6-foot-6, and 208 pounds. It's an easy effort operation, with a clean arm swing and controlled move down the slope that translates to an 87-89 mph fastball with 18" of arm-side run, on average. Cappetto flipped over a slurvey breaking ball at 68-71 mph, along with flashing a 74-78 mph changeup. There is plenty of room to continue to pack on strength, and his low-effort arm action, along with easy moves down the slope, suggest more velocity will come.

RHP Bishop Cappetto (Munster, 2025) was a winner before he even stepped on the mound, standing at an ultra-projectable 6-foot-5, 173-pounds. He moves with a fluid pace on the mound, shifting into a slight drop/drive lower-half and striding in-line to the plate. His arm and lower-half were occasionally delayed coming through release, causing him to lose pitches to his arm-side. His fastball sat 77-81 mph, topping out at 82 mph. He displayed both a changeup at 76-78 mph and a splitter at 73-77 mph; with the splitter flashing above-average dive to the bottom of the zone at times. His final offering was an 11/5 curveball at 62-65 mph.
