I mean, there's nothing special about an orc that'd make them better at Babe Ruthing caltrops into an enemy than another character with the same stats.
That said, you're the DM. If you think it's a reasonable amount of damage, it's a reasonable amount of damage. It's certainly not going to unbalance the game or anything.

my player asked me if he could do that and i wonder too. and could it do additional damage. note: the player is a orc.
I mean, there's nothing in the official rules about it, but that sounds hilarious so I'd probably allow it.
A sensible way to rule it might be to treat it as a thrown improvised weapon that deals piercing damage.
pronouns: he/she/they
do you think if the player is a orc the caltrop could deal instead of 1d4 1d6 could be a great idea

ok thanks
First off, this is a great use of ingenuity to just have fun with the game.
Secondly, you could argue that it could do more damage the higher your strength stat, if you wanted.
