Caballero scored six goals in the 2016 season, leading Villa Clara to their 14th league title. He was named that season's Most Valuable Player by the Football Association of Cuba.[2][3]

After defecting to the United States in 2023, Caballero signed with ART Municipal Jalapa of the Liga Primera de Nicaragua.

Caballero represented the Cuba national under-20 team at the 2015 CONCACAF U-20 Championship, playing in all five group matches. He scored the opening goal in a 2–2 draw with Haiti.[4] He also scored against Honduras, but the strike was ruled offside.[5]

He made his senior international debut on 7 October 2016, during a match against the United States.[3] In what was the first friendly between the two countries since 1947, Caballero hit the post in the second half of Cuba's 2–0 defeat.[6]

On 29 June 2023, Caballero was among the four Cuban players who defected to the United States following their opening match of the 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup group stage, a 1–0 defeat to Guatemala.[7]
