Castro still has a lot of development to do, both in adding strength to his 6-foot-1, 160-pound frame and in polishing his game. He has quick hands and strong wrists, which allow him to make contact (just 47 strikeouts in 444 at-bats) and bode well for his future power potential once he fills out. He's an average runner who also could develop plus speed as he gets stronger. He also has all the tools to be an above-average defender as well.
Castro has a ceiling of an all-star shortstop. There's a big gap between his present and potential ability, because he's so young, but the early returns are very positive.
