Scouting Report:

From the Dominican Prospect League:

At first site Castillo is impressive physically, he’s a man child, and when he starts swing the bat he makes your attention draw closer. He extends his arms and squares up pitches with authority. He has quick hand through the hitting zone and his bat path is consistently on an even plane. He doesn’t produce much elevation with his swing but he hits the ball harder than any player on the field. Castillo is a dead pull hitter learning how to use the entire field. Defensively he has good lateral movement, average hands and makes routine plays. His arm strength is average and he runs well for a big guy. His raw athletic talent makes him a prospect to take note of, he has the tools that transfer into production on the diamond.

Spent his 19 year old season in Rookie Ball at the Dominican Summer League.

 

Below average .231 and minimal contact/extra base ability at this point.

He's got time to develop, but if he wants to stay as a corner infielder, he better develop more power.

Released in 2016
