Our new Pirates Winter Report will highlight one Pittsburgh Pirates prospect each week, then give brief notes from each country playing winter ball. This week, we feature Diego Castillo, who spent the 2022 season between the Pirates and Triple-A Indianapolis. He’s playing this winter in Venezuela.
Not long after he played his first winter league game in Venezuela this year, Diego Castillo spoke to his local media about his plans for the winter. He said that the Pirates were going to let him play a lot, and they wanted him to use the entire field, both on offense and defense.
