2025 Fantasy Outlook
Del Castillo was already having a breakout year at Triple-A Reno by the time he showed up in Arizona and acquitted himself well in 25 games while filling in for an injured Gabriel Moreno. The organization's Minor League Player of the Year, Del Castillo posted a 1.002 OPS and 26 homers in 2024 at Reno. Power numbers in the hitter-smooching Pacific Coast League are always taken with circumspection, but Del Castillo's jump from 2023 to 2024 was comical. He gained more than 300 points of OPS, 64 points of average and dropped his strikeout rate 12 points. Against MLB pitching, Del Castillo slashed .313/.368/.525 with four home runs in 87 plate appearances - and a much higher strikeout rate than he had in the minors. His bat may be able to carry him in the majors, but Moreno is entrenched as the No. 1 catcher, and Arizona may want a better defensive option as a backup. Read Past Outlooks
Comes up big in Triple-A debut
Del Castillo (shoulder) was reinstated from Triple-A Reno's 7-day injured list Tuesday and went 2-for-5 with a home run, four RBI and an additional run in a 15-9 loss to Sugar Land.
ANALYSIS
Del Castillo served as the designated hitter in his season debut for Reno, and he'll likely remain limited to a non-defensive role for at least a few more games while he looks to regain full strength in his throwing shoulder. The young backstop was diagnosed with a strained right shoulder late in spring training and made all 13 of his rehab appearances as a DH once he was cleared to begin an assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on May 20. Del Castillo posted an .893 OPS in 87 plate appearances in the majors a season ago, but he's unlikely to warrant serious consideration for a call-up to Arizona until he's catching again.
