Bio
Kelvin Cáceres joins Sioux City after seven years in the Los Angeles Angels organization, including a major‑league debut in 2023.
Cáceres spent the 2025 season with Double‑A Rocket City, making 30 appearances and striking out 42 batters across 36 innings before electing free agency that November. Earlier that year, he had been designated for assignment by the Angels, cleared waivers, and was outrighted to Triple‑A Salt Lake.
His 2024 season never materialized due to a right lat injury suffered before his first appearance, leading to a placement on the 60‑day injured list on May 9.
Cáceres reached the majors in 2023, appearing in two games for the Angels and allowing one run in 1⅓ innings after climbing three levels that season with High‑A Tri‑City, Double‑A Rocket City, and Triple‑A Salt Lake, where he combined for a 4.12 ERA, 85 strikeouts, and eight saves in 52 outings.
He broke out in 2022 with Single‑A Inland Empire, striking out 117 hitters in 77 innings while posting a 3.84 ERA across 36 appearances.
In 2021, he returned to action after the COVID‑19 shutdown and split the year between the Arizona Complex League and Inland Empire, recording 65 strikeouts in 48 innings.
He did not pitch in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season.
Cáceres began his professional career after signing with the Angels as an international free agent on May 15, 2018, spending his first two seasons in the Dominican Summer League and Arizona League, where he posted ERAs of 4.98 and 3.82 as a teenage prospect.
