Overall: The prize of the Phillies 2018 international class, Castillo is a physically mature right-hander that was popping 97 before he could legally drive here in the United States. The Phillies signed the Dominican flamethrower to a $1.6 million dollar contract and he moved quickly enough to get into a handful of GCL games towards the end of the 2019 season. Castillo could potentially have two plus pitches in the fastball and slider, but he lacks a third pitch at the moment and his command is poor. Castillo looks nearly maxed out and any physical projection looks like it's more on the negative side. It comes with extreme risk, but Castillo has a big arm worthy of an important role on a pitching staff.
