From the Field: Luis Castro, if, Staten Island FerryHawks
…
Infielder Luis Castro had a fantastic season in the independent Atlantic League in 2024. The 29-year-old Castro hit .356 with a .449 OBP and 1.085 OPS, hitting 24 HR. He would end the season with the league batting crown. Castro has been around–this is his third season in Indy ball and 11th season of pro ball, but he has been a solid hitter just about everywhere he went, though has yet to get past AAA-ball. He’s had some highlights, though: in 2019 while playing in the Rockies organization with their high-A affiliate, he hit .317/.425/.584 with 25 HR was selected to the California League All-Star team, and was both the league regular and post-season MVP.
