Amateur career
Capra attended the Melbourne Central Catholic High School in Melbourne, Florida, where he helped lead the Hustlers to a state championship.[1] He began playing college baseball at Eastern Florida State College.[2] He transferred to the University of Richmond to play for the Richmond Spiders.[3] In 2017, Capra batted .356 with four home runs and 19 runs batted in (RBIs) for the Spiders.[4] He then appeared in 48 games for the Walla Walla Sweets of the West Coast League, a collegiate summer league.[4] In his final season with the Spiders in 2018, Capra hit .327 with five home runs, 41 RBIs, and nine stolen bases.[4]
Professional career
The Toronto Blue Jays selected Capra in the 20th round of the 2018 Major League Baseball draft.[5] He was assigned to the Short Season-A Vancouver Canadians, and was later promoted to the Class-A Lansing Lugnuts. In a combined 64 games, Capra batted .248 with two home runs, 22 RBIs, and nine stolen bases.[4] He spent the entire 2019 season with the Double-A New Hampshire Fisher Cats, and recorded a .229 batting average with three home runs, 33 RBIs, and 15 stolen bases.[4] Capra did not play professional baseball at any level in 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic's cancellation of the minor league season. In 2021, he appeared in 79 games for the Fisher Cats and Triple-A Buffalo Bisons, and set new career-highs with a .316 batting average, 10 home runs, and 58 RBIs.[4]
