Houston Astros 2015 Season Recap: Jason Castro

The Houston Astros drafted Jason Castro with the 10th overall pick in the 2008 MLB Draft. Castro would debut with the team on June 22, 2010, with a hit in four at-bats. In 2011, Castro tore his ACL in Spring Training and missed the entire season. Castro returned in 2012, but his breakout season came in 2013 when he slashed .276/.350/.485 with 18 home runs, made the All-Star team and posted a 4.4 WAR. 2014 was a disappointment offensively for Castro as his numbers dropped across the board, but he had a stronghold on the catching position coming into 2015 because of his defensive work and improved pitch-framing.
