GOODYEAR, Arizona – As pitchers and catchers conducted their first official workout Saturday, Luis Castillo flashed a smile when he signaled for his first changeup in a bullpen session.
Catcher Tucker Barnhart hollered with excitement from behind the plate.
Castillo threw about a half-dozen changeups before he finished his first bullpen of spring training. It’s the first step as he tries to improve on his breakout 2019 season. Castillo finished with a 15-8 record and 3.40 ERA in 32 starts. He struck out a team-high 226 batters in a career-high 190 2/3 innings.
