Neyfy Castillo Has Big Week With Four Homers
Arizona Diamondbacks outfield prospect Neyfy Castillo, signed out of the Dominican Republic, has developed into one of the more exciting hitters in the club's farm system. Known for his right-handed power bat, the 22-year-old has also flashed under-the-radar speed and solid glovework. He has spent most of this season in right field but could shift to a different outfield spot on any given day. The biggest weakness game is his plate discipline, as evidenced by a woeful 6.8 BB% and 34.3 K% at Double-A. With that said, this past week was one to remember for Castillo. He ultimately went 11-for-23, slugging four homers, including a grand slam. He also drove in a whopping 14 runs while walking twice, striking out six times, and swiping a bag.
