Top Rankings

Organization Prospect Rankings

BA Grade/Risk: 45/Extreme

Track Record: Castillo was signed out of the Dominican Republic on June 1 and made his official pro debut nine days later. He spent his first pro season in the Dominican Summer League, where he showed well in terms of both stuff and results. His final line included 36 strikeouts against nine walks in 33.1 innings. His best outing of the season came on July 26, when he struck out seven in four one-hit innings against one of Houston's affiliates.

Scouting Report: Castillo has just 10 games--nine starts--to his name but is intriguing thanks to a fastball that scraped 93 mph as a 17-year-old during the 2022 season. Castillo's tall, lanky frame suggests he should be able to add more velocity as he gains strength. He backs the fastball with a curveball and changeup that each showed the potential to be average with further development.

The Future: After a year in the DSL, Castillo will move stateside and spend the summer in the Florida Complex League among a pack of intriguing lower-level arms. His projectability and present stuff should make him an intriguing pitcher to follow over the course of the season.

Scouting Grades: Fastball: 60. Curveball: 50. Changeup: 50. Control: 55.
