Aaron Castillo, Veterans Memorial (TX), 2028
Positional Profile: C/RHP RHS…strike thrower. Upside. Will throw harder. Shows ability to spin baseball, action will be developing. Shows feel for change. Strike thrower. Needs time to develop. Interesting…spins baseball and throws strikes. One to watch. LHH/C..will add strength in future. Will be avg receiver behind plate in future. Love the upside to bat/power combo with adjustments. Interesting to watch adjustments and see where tools end.
Body: 5-11, 225-pounds. Thick build with room to add needed strength. Width to back and shoulders, thickness thru middle and lower. Projects to have solid build in future.
Delivery: Modified stretch with back rocker step, loads in back leg with knee lift and slight inward turn. Cast stride leg out, then down the slope, lands online. Works over stride leg with chest. Head puller.
Arm Action: RH. Full circle, works well. Developing arm speed. LTQ slot with crossbody finish.
FB: T82, 79-81 mph. Solid spin, carry up. Fair plane down in zone. Arm side tail present. Strike thrower with FB> T2436, 2330 average rpm.
CB: 69-71 mph. Solid ability to spin baseball. Sweepy, slurvy type action. T2493, 2443 average rpm.
SL: 68-68 mph. Quality spin. Similar to CB. T2502, 2471 average rpm.
CH: 74-74 mph. Tail/sink with deception present. T1504, 1504 average rpm.
ATH: 8.14 runner in the 60. 1.95 and 4.54 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. Runs hard.

Interesting to watch adjustments and see where tools end.
Body: 5-11, 225-pounds. Thick build with room to add needed strength. Width to back and shoulders, thickness thru middle and lower. Projects to have solid build in future.
Hit: LHH. Lands in good position to hit. Rotational back foot, inconsistent driving forward maximizing lower 1/2 use. Develop consistent ability to rotate and drive back foot forward, shoelaces towards pitcher, lower 1/2, back hip into firm front side. Closes lead shoulder with stride, lead shoulder opens early. Would try not closing lead shoulders so much with stride. Barrel tip to start swing creates length to swing. Soften wrist cock working to keep barrel closer to back of head. Bat/hand speed will continue to improve, like the way the swing works the short time in zone. 69.7 mph bat speed with 9 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 96 max exit velocity, averaged 84.7 mph. 324' max distance. Upside to bat/power combo. I like the swing short time it is in zone. Opportunities with hit approach present, increasing efficiency of lower 1/2 and improving ability for extension thru baseball.
Arm: RH. C-76 mph. Low elbow push at times. When staying behind baseball, throws show carry. Like the upside to raw arm strength in future and staying behind ball.
Defense: 2.04-2.18 pop times. Receives fine in games, shows ability to handle zone. Blocks okay, lacks quickness to movements.Feet work setting to throw, not quick yet. Upside.
ATH: 8.14 runner in the 60. 1.95 and 4.54 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. Runs hard.

Aaron Castillo, Veterans Memorial (TX), 2028
Positional Profile: C/RHP Castillo is approaching the beginning of his high school career and is already showing some impressive upsides as a two-way player. He's a big kid with impressive number for just being a '28.
Body: 5-11, 233-pounds.
Delivery: 3/4 release, starts with hips open. Big leg kick, stays mostly up right.
Arm Action: RH. Cleand and efficient arm action. Incorporate lower half more to create more power.
FB: T80, 78-80 mph. Comfortable pitch, consistent and smooth. T2340, 2231 average rpm.
SL: 65-69 mph. Good shape, finish the pitch to increase accuracy and movement. T2437, 2382 average rpm.
CH: 72-73 mph. Plays well of the FB. As he becomes more comfortable, this pitch will be very useful. T1186, 1152 average rpm.
ATH: 8.03 runner in the 60. 1.94 and 4.45 in the 10 and 30 yard splits.

Body: 5-11, 233-pounds.
Hit: LHH. Open stance, vertical barrel. Hands start at/below shoulders. Agressive swing, not super consistent but as he makes adjustments will be a quality XBH hitter. 69.1 mph bat speed with 7 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 92 max exit velocity, averaged 82.5 mph. 341' max distance. Elevates the ball really well, generates a lot of power with lower half.
Arm: RH. C-76 mph. INF-80 mph. Uses all arm, side arm release.
Defense: 2.02-2.14 pop times. Good mechanics, tempo and quicker release will come with time.
ATH: 8.03 runner in the 60. 1.94 and 4.45 in the 10 and 30 yard splits.
