LA Angels Top 25 Prospects: #16 Jesus Castillo

Initially, Castillo was signed by the Diamondbacks out of Venezuela in 2011 and was sent to the Cubs in 2013 before finally making his way to the LA Angels system in 2016.

Jesus Castillo hasn’t had too much fanfare throughout his trip through the Minors, and though he took a few seasons and a couple of organizations to finally develop into valuable form Castillo is looking like a solid lock for the Majors. One of the biggest standout tools in his game is his top-level command, you could very well say that’s the name of his game. Like Dan Haren, pinpoint control is what takes him over the top.
