It’s been over two years since Rodolfo Castro made the jump straight from Double-A to the majors. He’s always been somewhat of a tantalizing player to follow, looking no further than his early time with the Pirates.
His first five hits were home runs, flashing an exciting all-or-nothing approach that has mostly defined him since then.
While he’s played in parts of three different seasons, he’s recently just played in his 150th regular season game.
In that time, Castro has a slash of .230/.307/.416 with a league average wRC+ of 100. The shining tool for him, the power, has come through, hitting 21 home runs in that span.
