Williams: Rodolfo Castro Has Become a Lefty Masher

We are all ultimately judged by how many things we can do in a second.

Rodolfo Castro picked up two outs in a second on Saturday.

In the third inning of game one on against the Washington Nationals, the Pirates were trying to protect a 2-0 lead. Rich Hill had loaded the bases with no outs, but got Jeimer Candelario to hit a sharp line drive to Castro at short.

Castro fielded the ball like he was relaying a double play throw. In a second, he caught the line drive and threw to second — where Mark Mathias was waiting to double off the runner for the second out.
