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

Signed a one-year contract with the Diamondbacks in March of 2025.
Delivers winning run
CArizona Diamondbacks
August 21, 2025
Del Castillo entered as a pinch hitter and went 1-for-1 with an RBI in Wednesday's 3-2 extra-inning win over Cleveland.
Analysis
Del Castillo came up in the bottom of the 10th inning and walked off the Guardians. He's had a few bright moments like Wednesday's during his current stint in the big leagues, but not as many as in a late-season call-up in 2024. Del Castillo was called up to the Diamondbacks following the All-Star break as a replacement for the then-injured Pavin Smith, who has since returned. Now, with catcher Gabriel Moreno (finger) poised to return ahead of this weekend's series against the Reds, Del Castillo's roster spot could be in jeopardy.
