He split 2017 between High-A Jupiter and AA Jacksonville. He dominated the Florida State League, but he posted a 5.19 ERA in the Southern League. However, he has a couple of pitches that do make him intriguing,...6356Thu, 25 Jan 2018 05:12:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/video-slowing-things-down-to-see-jason-castro%E2%80%99s-silent-skill-r6355/As I noted in an article earlier this week, Twins rookie reliever Trevor Hildenberger had high praise for the help Castro provided him behind the plate.
