Rylan Caplette

My name is Rylan Caplette-Tarrant, but most people in Oyen know me as Capper. I’m the youngest son of Denise Caplette and Allan Tarrant, with an older brother, Dustin, and a sister-in-law, Krysta. I became an uncle at age eight to my niece Ava and nephew Clay. My love for baseball started at just 1.5 years old, and I’ve been passionate about it ever since—using whatever I could, even empty water jugs as tees, to practice when no one was around. I began school at St. Agnes in Moose Jaw, SK, where I played volleyball and basketball, then attended Vanier Collegiate for Grades 9 and 10 before moving to Oyen, Alberta, to finish school and play for the Badland Badgers. Over the years, I’ve played various sports, including soccer and football, but baseball has always been my focus since joining the Yankees in 2016. I enjoy video games with friends, board games with family, and have traveled to several places in Mexico, as well as Toronto for a Blue Jays game. After high school, I plan to attend Highland Community College in Illinois to study Criminal Justice and continue my baseball career, with hopes of transferring to a four-year university.
