Andres Castro (Pusch Ridge, 2024)
Strong build with room to grow. Adding some athleticism could turn him into high level prospect. Clean actions all around. 7.4 runner in the 60. (OF) Arm showed well from the outfield. Clean throwing stroke with true carry. Clean with the glove, stays behind the ball well. Range is outfield has room for improvement. (IF) 84 mph IF velo. Great arm across the diamond with more in the tank. True ball flight. Best IF spots would be on the corners. Quiet actions in the IF, more involvement with the feet would increase consistency with the glove. Found himself in some bad hops on this day. (Hitting) Max EV 90.3 mph. Max Dist. 315 feet. Strong and athletic in set up. Wider base with knees inside the toes, and bat held at the back shoulder with some rhythm. Small up and down stride that brings him back to square position, closes off on occasion. Quick hands with a direct bat path, can get steep at times. Produces backspin ball flight. 85% of contact was LD/GB contact.
Game Results: 0-1 2 BB, K
Andres Castro, Pusch Ridge Christian (AZ), 2024
Positional Profile: RHP/3B Standout at this event. Strength and size with above average arm strength. Big upside on the mound.
Body: 6-1, 200-pounds. Strong build with strength in lower half.
Hit: RHH. Balanced in set up. Base is outside of shoulder width with a bend in the knees. Hands held just above the back shoulder. Uses a small up and down stride and hits from a balanced position. Good hand speed with a downhill bat path. Likes the ball out over the plate that he can get extended on, gets a little bunched up on balls on the inner half.
Power: 92.2 max exit velocity, averaged 81 mph. 308’ max distance. Best contact is to the gaps. Ball comes off the bat with true flight.
Arm: RH. INF - 86 mph. Above average arm strength, showed to be his best tool. Throws from a 3/4 slot, ability to throw from lower slots.
Defense: Good rhythm while fielding, stays in motion, feet rarely get stationary. Glove work is average, plays best from the corners.
Run: 7.60 runner in the 60.
