Scouting Report: Capel intrigues as a center fielder with above-average raw power and above-average speed, although he hasn't made it all click. Capel has worked to clean up his lefthanded swing and cut down on his strikeouts, but overall he's a fringe-average hitter who is neutralized by lefthanders. After hitting 22 home runs and posting a .482 slugging percentage in 2017, Capel slipped to seven home runs with a .376 slugging percentage in 2018 as he moved up a level. It's important Capel finds his power because he projects as a corner outfielder long-term with average defense and an above-average arm.
The Future: Capel is going to have to hit to be a big leaguer, even in a reserve role. He'll try to make the necessary offensive strides at Double-A Springfield in 2019.
