Getting to know Willi Castro, the Tigers’ newest prospect.
The young shortstop is already the No. 10 prospect in the Tigers system, according to MLB Pipeline.

Willi Castro SS 21 CLE (L. Martin) DET
Switch-hitting shortstop with plus bat control. Has gap power from the left side. Swing-happy approach limits OBP and quality of contact. Above-average defender at short.
