Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Luis Castillo will not be pitching for the Dominican Republic in the 2023 World Baseball Classic, according to president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto. "It's a choice that we made together," Dipoto said. The 30-year-old right-hander was a huge asset for the Mariners in the second half of last season after they acquired him from the Cincinnati Reds at the trade deadline. The two-time All-Star was 4-2 with a 3.17 ERA (2.91 FIP), 1.10 WHIP and 29 percent strikeout rate in 11 regular season starts for the Mariners. With a full and normal spring training heading into his first full season with the M's, fantasy managers should feel confident that he will produce strong numbers yet again. RotoBaller currently has Castillo ranked as the No. 18 fantasy starter.
Seattle Mariners right-hander Luis Castillo will start Game 2 of the American League Division Series on Thursday on the road against the Houston Astros. Castillo was excellent in Game 1 of the Wild-Card Series against the Toronto Blue Jays last Friday, throwing 7 1/3 shutout innings while allowing six hits, walking none and striking out five to pick up the victory. After being acquired from the Cincinnati Reds at the trade deadline in August, the 29-year-old Dominican went 4-2 for Seattle with a 3.17 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 77 strikeouts in 65 1/3 innings over 11 starts. The two-time All-Star didn't face the Astros at all in 2022. In his last three starts in the regular season, Castillo allowed 10 earned runs on 15 hits while walking six and striking out 17 in 16 innings.
Seattle Mariners skipper Scott Servais said the team will go with right-hander Luis Castillo in Game 1 of the Wild-Card Series on Friday on the road against the Toronto Blue Jays. The Mariners are planning to use left-hander Robbie Ray in Game 2 and young right-hander Logan Gilbert in a Game 3, if necessary. Castillo became Seattle's ace when they acquired him from the Cincinnati Reds at the trade deadline. The 29-year-old All-Star went 4-2 with a 3.17 ERA (2.91 FIP), a 1.10 WHIP, 77 strikeouts and just 17 walks in 65 1/3 innings in his 11 starts in Seattle. He faced Toronto once this year and allowed two earned runs on seven hits while walking none and striking out five in six innings pitched in a loss.

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Luis Castillo enjoyed a strong bounce-back 2022 season with the Reds and Mariners. Castillo compiled a combined 8-6 record with a 2.99 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, and 27.2% strikeout rate in 25 starts and 150 1/3 innings pitched. After an up-and-down 2021 campaign, Castillo posted a career-low ERA, while his strikeout rate and walk rate returned to his career averages. One potential downside to note is Castillo did give up harder contact, with an average exit velocity in the 35th percentile of baseball and a hard-hit rate in the 53rd. This came with a career-high 10.4-degree launch angle. The good news is that Castillo was able to escape one of baseball's least pitcher-friendly parks in the first half for one of the more pitcher-friendly parks in Seattle, where he will presumably pitch all of his home games in 2023. Castillo is currently being drafted as the 71st player overall, making him the 28th pitcher drafted. There are nine relief pitchers going ahead of Castillo, who now has six seasons of offering mid-rotation fantasy production with high-end upside. Given the caliber of relief pitchers being drafted after him and his high floor and ceiling, Castillo's ADP among other SP seems fair, while his overall ADP seems a bit low.
