NC Dinos is counting down the days to recruit left-handed Daniel Castano (29) as a new foreign pitcher.
As a result of this newspaper's coverage, NC has classified Castano as a potential recruit and is going through the contract process. Final negotiations are expected to be completed if no major problems are found in the medical test. Like Eric Peddy (currently of the Chicago White Sox), who came to Korea after completing a contract agreement and underwent a medical test in Seoul, Castano's physical condition is also carefully checked.
Castano's career (4 years) Major League (MLB) records are 2 wins, 7 losses, and an average ERA of 4.47 in 24 games (17 as a starter). This season, he appeared in two games for the Miami Marlins. Although his MLB performance is not very outstanding, his history in the minor leagues is strong. In his career (7 years), he has 120 games (88 as a starter), 42 wins, 28 losses, and an ERA of 3.91. His Triple A career record is 15 wins, 4 losses, an ERA of 4.24, a WHIP of 1.207, and 2.7 walks per 9 innings.

According to Fangraph.com, an MLB records website, Castano is the type of player who mixes fastballs (four-seam fastballs) with sliders, cut fastballs, and change-ups. His average fastball speed this year is 89.9 miles (144.7 km/h). Another record site, Baseball Servant, measured it at 91.4 miles (147.1 km/h). Although he is not the type with high speed, he is known to have reached a maximum speed of 152 km/h according to Trackman data, so it is interesting to see what he will show in the KBO league. Compared to left-handed pitcher Tanner Turley (height 1m84cm, weight 92kg), who played in NC uniform this season, Castano (height 1m90cm, weight 104kg) has a more solid physique.
Castano collapsed after being hit by a batted ball during an away game against the Cincinnati Reds in July last year. He was hit in the head by Donovan Solano's 104 mph (167.4 km/h) line drive. Castano, who was placed on the injured list (IL) after the game, finished the season without returning to the big league. A foreign scout from Club A said, “Casta No’s skills are good. His fastball is faster (than what is shown in the data),” and “Injuries are the key.”
Meanwhile, NC, whose ace Peddie signed with the White Sox and left the team after the season, plans to replace all three foreign players.
