Despite being one of the youngest players in each lower league, Castro continues to amaze. At High-A Lynchburg, he hit .290/.337/.424 with 24 doubles, 11 home runs, and three triples.
While Castro’s status as a youthful, athletic shortstop from Puerto Rico inevitably draws parallels to Francisco Lindor, he draws inspiration from a different player.
Jose Reyes was his favorite player growing up, he said in a 2015 interview with Indians Baseball Insider.
“I’m attempting to imitate him.” “At the plate, he’s aggressive, and he gets out and runs a lot,” he said.
