His last minor league stint was in 2017 (AA).  He had a 2.59 ERA and 1.008 WHIP.  He averaged 9.1 strikeouts per 9 innings and only 1.5 walks.

Good call Fred

Castillo is tied for the lowest ERA 0.92 ! in MLB with Shoemaker of Toronto among starters with 3 starts and 15+ innings pitched.

Castillo has given up only 5 hits, best in the majors among starters with 15+ innings pitched. He's tied for 3rd in K's with 25. 

It's way early but we just might have that ACE we've so badly needed.
