Pirates Prospects Daily: The Second Base Battle is Heating Up Down the Stretch

Related Topics: Ji-hwan Bae, Rodolfo Castro

Rodolfo Castro is one of the more intriguing names still on the Pittsburgh Pirates’ roster. His boom-or-bust style plays out exactly how it sounds, there are times when he wows us, and other times he leaves you pulling out your hair.

That’s been the case for him for the majority of spring this year. He’s played in 16 games this spring, and has bookended a pair of home runs in the first game and the most recent contest. In between he’s struck out a total of 17 times (first/worst on the team) in his 47 plate appearances.
