Our 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 Rodolfo Castro, who is playing in the Dominican.
Rodolfo Castro split the 2022 season fairly even between Triple-A Indianapolis (75 games) and the Pirates (71 games). His stats were very similar in each spot, with a slightly lower average and slightly lower walk rate in the majors, leading to a 35-point different in his OBP, though the power numbers were almost identical. He put up a solid OPS at each level, finishing 26 points above the International League average and 14 points above the National League average.
