Willi Castro is quietly hot this month slashing .364/.406/.508. Looking deeper, I noticed some mechanical changes from both sides of the plate

Gotta give @ShellyV_643 credit for mentioning him weeks ago on a pod and caused me to look deeper.

Season line: 134 PA .350/.383/.561 6 HR/21 R/23 RBI
162 game pace:
29 HR/100 R/109 RBI

While he hasn’t stolen a base this year, he stole 17 last season and has 85th percentile sprint speed and similar 90 ft splits to Mookie and Victor Robles.

His statcast data is not overly appealing. But he has made improvements from last year.

EV(MPH): 84.7📈85.6
Barrel%: 1.5📈10
Sweet Spot%: 35.3📈36.7
Hard-Hit%: 25📈32.2
K%: 30.9📉26.9

Z-Contact%: 78.3📈83.7

He may never be a standout, but Castro is just 23 years old and made strides at the plate this season.

He will likely be an after thought in drafts next season but he has the potential to be a solid source of batting average and a 15/15 player.
