If there’s been a bright spot in the Reds’ frigid start to the year, it’s been the starting pitching. And anchoring that starting rotation is Reds Ace Luis Castillo. There were more than a few second guesses when Castillo was given the nod to start on Opening Day. Was he mature enough? Had he solved the issues that nagged at him to start the 2018 season? If the team was supposed to #getthepitching, why is a holdover from last season still our best pitcher?
Well, Luis Castillo has effectively shut down all of those naysayers with a blistering start to 2019.
