Desi Castillo is a 2012 RHP/1B with a 6-1 230 lb. frame from Corpus Christi, TX who attends Calallen HS. Larger build with some present strength. Back turn delivery with full deep arm action, extended 3/4's release point, a bit cross body on release, arm works well out front. Steady low 80's fastball, topped at 83 mph, FB has good run and sink low, gets under it and elevates at times. Aggressive with fastball in the zone, makes hitters swing the bat. Slider flashes depth at times, works SL off outside corner to right handed hitters. Has an idea how to pitch. Right handed hitter, drifts into front side, big upper cut swing, occasional power. Has potential on the mound with better conditioning and athleticism. Good student.
