Source: Castro Agrees to 7/60M Extension (Option Year: 16M)

Something metrics can't tell are how much better Castro's throws have been this year. It's hard to remember him throwing the ball in the dirt to 1st at all, something he was doing constantly last year.

did you say teached?

i was too focused on enjoying nacho sauce to think straight

so this is promising, hopefully:

 

castro, first half: 85 games, 12 bb, 61 k

castro, second half: 71 games, 23 bb, 36 k.

 

also, his OPS is about 40 points higher in the second half despite a BABIP that's 40 points lower.

He's also shown more power in the second half. Despite his BA being 18 points lower than in the first half, his OBP is 17 points higher and his SLG is 22 points higher.

Every time I'm reminded of how young he is, it blows me away.

 

He's in his FOURTH SEASON, and he's the 9th youngest player in the entire league.

First MLB player born in the 90's wasn't he?

And he stupidly just had his first kid.

He's got a lot of work to do to catch up to Antonio Cromartie

Hitting .250 with no walks and no power. Just another cubs disappointment.

He's not currently on pace to live up to his salary this year on $/WAR.
