Although the score didn’t look great for the Pirates today, some positives were had in this game.
For starters, infielder Diego Castillo is making a strong case to not only make the big league club but perhaps start. Today, the 24-year-old blasted a pair of home runs. Let’s have a look.
Castillo is now hitting .368/.429/.842 with three home runs this spring. Two of those home runs have come against All-Star pitchers. Although spring stats mean nothing, Castillo has looked mighty impressive in his approach. Considering some of the other players on this roster, he definitely deserves a shot to prove himself up north.
