Phillies select Chad Castillo in the 9th Round of the 2022 Draft

The Phillies take another senior in the 9th round in OF Chad Castillo from California Baptist University (currently transferring to Oklahoma St).

Like a bunch of the Phillies picks so far he has a big breakout stat line this year, hitting .386/.442/.635 with 35 extra base hits in 56 games. Looks to have mostly player left and center. Gigantic red flags on the walk and strikeout with a 7.1% BB% and 21.0% K% in the WAC. Looks like those were better on the Cape last summer, but that is really concerning.

Given he is transferring this might not be a big money saving, but he is already 22 and not on any lists, so it could be.
