Prospect Roundtable: The Book on Rodolfo Castro

In the past, we would run a feature called “The Book on…”, giving a scouting report of a player as they arrived for the first time in the majors.

We’re bringing that back with a twist. Instead of looking at a prospect when he first arrives in the majors, we’re going to be taking a look at the player when he loses prospect status. For reference, that’s after 130 at-bats for hitters, or 50 innings pitched/30 relief appearances for pitchers.

We’re also using the Prospect Roundtable format for this, giving you multiple viewpoints.

At this stage in a prospect’s career, we’ve seen a bit of what they can do, though they still may have more projectability.
