2021 MLB Draft Scouting Report: Adrian Del Castillo

“We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill. Over the castle on the hill. Over the castle on the hill.” — Ed Sheeran

Adrian Del Castillo, famously “of the castle”, has a chance to be the most polished college hitter in the 2021 draft. A catcher by trade, it’s unlikely he stays behind the plate at the next level, but the bat is special enough to warrant a top pick next July.

The 12th ranked catcher in the country in 2018, Del Castillo was a 36th round pick by the Chicago White Sox out of high school but ultimately elected to go to the University of Miami to improve his stock.
