I just keeping thinking that Castillo is going to hit the wall and is going to endure a 3 for 30-type stretch. Yet, he just keeps on raking. The catcher is batting .348 over his last seven games with two home runs. He has 15 homers in only 196 at-bats with the D-backs and is hitting a solid .276. At 28, you wonder if this is a career season from the Beef or can he sustain this kind of production in future campaigns. Unlike Spring Training this year, I don’t think there is any doubt as to who the #1 catcher will be heading into 2016.
