There’s no sugarcoating it. Rodolfo Castro is a significantly more impactful player from the right side of the plate than left. The Pittsburgh Pirates infielder has the capability to play second, shortstop, and third base, but his bat is what draws significant attention.
Castro has fallen out of favor the past few weeks. He owns only 32 at-bats in Mat after posting 77 to begin the year in April. The switch hitter is batting .188 this month and owns seven defensive errors, six at short, attempting to fill the void left by the injured Oniel Cruz.
