2025 Fantasy Outlook
Del Castillo was already having a breakout year at Triple-A Reno by the time he showed up in Arizona and acquitted himself well in 25 games while filling in for an injured Gabriel Moreno. The organization's Minor League Player of the Year, Del Castillo posted a 1.002 OPS and 26 homers in 2024 at Reno. Power numbers in the hitter-smooching Pacific Coast League are always taken with circumspection, but Del Castillo's jump from 2023 to 2024 was comical. He gained more than 300 points of OPS, 64 points of average and dropped his strikeout rate 12 points. Against MLB pitching, Del Castillo slashed .313/.368/.525 with four home runs in 87 plate appearances - and a much higher strikeout rate than he had in the minors. His bat may be able to carry him in the majors, but Moreno is entrenched as the No. 1 catcher, and Arizona may want a better defensive option as a backup. Read Past Outlooks
Begins rehab assignment
Del Castillo (shoulder) began a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on Tuesday, serving as a designated hitter while going 1-for-3 with a walk and two runs scored.
ANALYSIS
Del Castillo is finally ready to play in games again after being sidelined since late in the spring with a right shoulder strain. The 25-year-old earned a spot on the Diamondbacks' 40-man roster last season and received a cup of coffee in the majors toward the end of 2024, batting .313 with four home runs in 25 games. Del Castillo could still use further refinement behind the plate, but his bat already looks to be major-league ready. Once activated from Triple-A Reno's injured list, Del Castillo is expected to handle an everyday role at catcher.
