Castillo creates good leverage with a leg-kick, lands balanced with his hands back, firing his lower half with good energy. Hand path is on-plane with slight lift to produce a gap-to-gap line drives during batting practice and an exit velocity of 81 mph off a tee. On the infield, the second baseman shows average footwork with good glove action and clean exchanges. Throws from a high-¾ slot across the diamond at 76 mph. Behind the plate, Castillo shows smooth footwork clean exchanges and rhythm on his throws to second base. His pop times ranged from 2.01-2.1 with accuracy at 72 mph. Ran a 7.97 60-yard dash.
