The bat takes an upward path to and through the hitting zone with good extension on his finish. The result was a lot of solid contact in the middle of the cage. From the outfield, Caira showed the ability to move well and create some looseness with his arm out of a higher ¾ slot, resulting in velocities up to 79 MPH. As he progressed through the defensive portion he showed consistent, athletic feet, sure hands, and a clean exchange.

On the mound, there’s a lot of moving parts with his long limbs. He begins with a big leg kick to get balanced over the rubber. As he transitions down the mound, he gets in line with home plate. The high over-the-top arm-swing creates a downward angle for his fastball that sits 72-74 MPH. The breaking ball is a big over-the-top pitch that sits between 56-57 MPH. He also showed a change up at 63-64 MPH with good action and keeping good arm-speed.
