During his rounds, Caldarella showed good hands and the ability to use the middle of the field. In the infield, Caldarella was up to 76 mph on his throws across the diamond. As he progressed through the defensive portion he showed a clean exchange, sure hands, and smooth, consistent footwork. During the event, also recorded a 60 time of 7.84, long athletic strides.

4/18/21

6-foot, 160-pound, longer, lean athletic frame, with room for added weight gains. A smooth left-handed hitter, swing is short to contact, a level path creating a line drives to all fields. A higher leg kick, some drop on the back side, could be stronger on back half. The exit velocity was clocked at 76 mph and ran a 8.34 sixty-yard dash. Defensively, moves well at third base, soft glove and hands. The feet and hands work well together, inline direction to targets. The arm was clocked at 68 mph, working from a high 3/4 slot. Look for the hit tool to jump at some point. Success at the younger age, look for it to continue. 

Exit Velocity: 75 mph

Arm Velocity: 68 mph

Sixty-Yard Dash: 8.34

10/01/20

5-foot-9, 145-pound, larger athletic frame for his age and class. Rounded shoulders, a frame to be physically at some point. A left-handed hitting third baseman, showed very well at the event. At the plate, a wider even setup, with loose hands at the shoulders.  For timing uses a higher leg kick, gains ground, swing is smooth, a level to up path. Behind the baseball on contact, could firm up the front leg a tick more. The approach is more line drive to the middle part of the field. Showed hard contact in batting practice with an exit velocity of 73 mph. The feet are active, move through the baseball, glove is soft out front on the catch. Moving well to glove side, starting the double play. The arm action is short and clean, working from a natural 3/4 slot. Tends to open up early on release, could stay closed longer. Good looking prospect, will fun to follow.

Exit Velocity: 73 mph

Arm Velocity: 67 mph

Sixty-Yard Dash: 8.19
