Capuano has a strong athletic frame. Throws from a high three-quarters arm slot with a short quick arm action, throws with higher effort. Simple drop and drive delivery, some recoil to his finish. Had a short outing, just facing a few hitters of relief at the end of the game. Fastball was 84-86, high arm slot and size generate some downward and angle and he gets a bit of late hop of armside run on the pitch.

Curveball was 69-70 with some armspeed and gradual 11/5 break that has some shape and a chance to tighten into a good pitch.
