Mahle is younger, but since he signed with the Reds at 18 he spent 2 more years and pitched over 200 more innings in the minors then Castillo.
So I think it is more likely that Castillo is still learning and developing than Mahle.
Yep, they both have the stuff and need a couple of years of learning on the job. Ups and downs are common with the young guys and then hopefully something just clicks and sticks. I think that they’ll both get plenty of opportunities.
