Draft Prospects
-
At 6-foot-2, 185 pounds, Castagnozzi’s value comes in his bat over his defense at shortstop. He gets good weight transfer at the plate that leads to solid bat speed with fluid motion and he looks great in batting practice with plenty of pop. During games, he has trouble producing those same results, however. He struggles to hit breaking balls and has some swing-and-miss issues despite his raw power and easy swing. As a North Carolina commit, he should be able to clean up his swing and access his power and hit tool in Chapel Hill, but for now he’s unlikely to be a player a team takes a flyer on in a shortened draft.
