Summer ’07:
July 31 – Castro has been a major surprise on the Cape this summer, not because he came out of nowhere, but because he struggled mightily in the spring, hitting just .167 for Stanford. But he has turned things completely around on the Cape. He leads the league in hitting with a .373 average and he has four home runs.
Looking Back:
Before the rocky season in ’07, Castro hit .283 with three home runs as a freshman. Last summer, he hit .286 in the Alaska League.
