Jason Castro has been Unable to Get it Going at the Plate.
Looking solely at his offense, Jason Castro has really struggled. After starting the season off with a healthy .300 plus batting average, Castro has now dipped under .200. He is also racking up the strikeouts quickly.
So far this season, Jason Castro’s slash line is .194/.316/.358 with 3 home-runs and 10 RBI’s.
Jason Castro has struck out 20 times, third most on the Twins’ team.
His on-base percentage isn’t bad at all. Castro has been solid at drawing walks and has very good at-bats often. He has just been unable to capitalize on those at-bats. His strikeout numbers are sky rocketing and his batting average is plummeting.
While it doesn’t seem necessary that Castro becomes a huge part of the Twins’ offense, it would be nice. His catching ability alone makes him irreplaceable, but if you throw in a strong bat with that, Jason Castro could become a huge help to the Minnesota Twins.
