Scouting Report  

 Caba is an athletic 6-foot-0 174 pound outfielder who ran a 7.37 60 and 4.42 home-to-1B. Offensively- Joseph sets up slightly open with his hands off his shoulder, with a 45 degree bat angle. Barrel wraps some behind his head as he gets back to even with his stride. Aggressive with lower half and gets hands through the zone in a hurry. Accelerates through extension with line drive/gap contact. Repeatable swing with an exit velocity of 78 MPH. Heart of the order type. Defensively- Aggressive approach with both groundballs and flyballs. Gathers his momentum well and explodes through the catch. Arm showed some life at 78 MPH. Good overall athlete that shows a feel for the game, definitely a player to be seen within the flow of the game.

 

What to Expect

" We expect that Caba is going to exceed his preseason measurables from early on this year and be one of the more impressive athletes this coming weekend. Athletic build who looks the part. Witnessed strong throws and quality at bats back in April during the James Monroe Tourney. Don't be surprised if we see a climb in the rankings here."
