Rest-of-Season Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Castro has turned into an elite utility player becoming the first player to play more than 25 game at five different positions in a season. Castro maintained his improved walk (8.2%) and hard-hit rates (31.4%) and duplicated his 108 wRC+ from 2023. He moved around the diamond filling in for injured players and rest days and played a career-high 158 games. He has above-average speed, but attempted fewer stolen bases (23 vs. 38 in 2023) mostly as the Twins ran less as a team. He offers some power (12 home runs) as well. He won't have a set position again, but should find regular playing time with the Twins. Read Past Outlooks

Enjoys three-hit day
Castro went 3-for-4 with a walk, a solo home run and three RBI during Saturday's 12-4 win over the Pirates.
Analysis
Castro picked up his first multi-hit game since July 3, notching at least three hits in a game for the fifth time this season. The super-utility player has enjoyed another great season at the plate, slashing .269/.361/.442 with 14 doubles, nine homers and 24 RBI. If he can keep up the pace for the rest of the season, his .803 OPS would be his best since becoming an everyday big leaguer in 2021.

Stat Review
How does Willi Castro compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Castro has the best season of his career as he became a solid utility player and a surprising source of stolen bases. After Castro was non-tendered by Detroit he had to settle for a minor league deal with the Twins and wasn't a sure bet to win a major league job. Castro got regular duty at third base in May when Jose Miranda struggled and hit .274 with a .780 OPS and 10 steals in the first two months of the season. He also became the backup center fielder when Byron Buxton was unable to play in the field. Castro gained manager Rocco Baldelli's confidence on the basepaths and went 33 for 38 in steal attempts. Castro drew more walks (8.3% BB%) and made harder contact (career-high 31.9% Hard Hit rate), but most of his underlying metrics were similar to his underwhelming 2022 season. A full-season career-high .328 BABIP may have indicated he was a bit lucky. However, Castro's versatility to be a plus glove around the infield and use his speed to be adequate in the outfield should help him carve out a steady role.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Candidate to be dealt
The Twins are likely to dangle Castro in trade talks this offseason, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports.
Analysis
The Twins aren't necessarily looking to cut payroll, but they could reallocate funds and one obvious way to do that is trading Castro, who is projected to make more than $6 million in his final year of arbitration eligibility. Castro has slashed a solid .251/.334/.395 in his two seasons in Minnesota, while making at least 14 starts at five different positions. He's also a switch hitter, which makes him a fit for virtually any roster.
