2025 Fantasy Outlook

Del Castillo was already having a breakout year at Triple-A Reno by the time he showed up in Arizona and acquitted himself well in 25 games while filling in for an injured Gabriel Moreno. The organization's Minor League Player of the Year, Del Castillo posted a 1.002 OPS and 26 homers in 2024 at Reno. Power numbers in the hitter-smooching Pacific Coast League are always taken with circumspection, but Del Castillo's jump from 2023 to 2024 was comical. He gained more than 300 points of OPS, 64 points of average and dropped his strikeout rate 12 points. Against MLB pitching, Del Castillo slashed .313/.368/.525 with four home runs in 87 plate appearances - and a much higher strikeout rate than he had in the minors. His bat may be able to carry him in the majors, but Moreno is entrenched as the No. 1 catcher, and Arizona may want a better defensive option as a backup. Read Past Outlooks

August 24, 2025

Del Castillo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

Analysis
The left-handed-hitting Del Castillo will hit the bench for the fourth time in five games, with two of his absences coming against lefties and two coming against righties. He had been serving as the Diamondbacks' primary designated hitter against right-handed pitching, but manager Torey Lovullo may prefer to use a committee of players at DH moving forward, as Del Castillo has struck out at a 34.8 percent clip since the beginning of August.
