Player Bio:
"Cappy's been awesome. From the start of Spring Training, he had more velocity on his fastball. Everybody knows Cappy has an amazing changeup to righties and lefties. He added a curveball that gave him another dimension." - Teammate A.J. Ellis (Lyle Spencer, MLB.com, 06/23/2013, 'Cappy deserves credit for Dodgers' success', Source)
Christopher Frank Capuano (born August 19, 1978 in West Springfield, MA) is a former pitcher for the Arizona Diamondbacks, Milwaukee Brewers, New York Mets, Los Angeles Dodgers, Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees, and Milwaukee Brewers.
