WTM’s PLAYER PROFILE
Castillo was one of the more promising pitchers the Pirates signed in January 2023.  He’s a good athlete with room to add strength, the ability to throw three pitches for strikes, and above-average spin rates.  His fastball already reaches 92, and he adds a curve and change that’s advanced for his age.
