MLB ETA	Risk Factor	OFP	Video
2014	low	60	Yes

Tool	Future Grade	Report
Hit	65	Superb barrel control; excellent hand-eye; lets ball travel deep in hitting zone; trusts hands implicitly; RCF is comfort zone. Must look for better pitches to drive; low heartbeat hitter; can get a bit overaggressive because of his outstanding coordination
Power	60	35 doubles, 55 XBH possible; over the fence power still developing; needs to pull ball more with authority
Baserunning/Speed	40	not a part of his game. May even slow down a tick more. Below average runner.
Glove	45	Good athlete for size; side to side movement below average; limited range; average hands
Arm	50	major league average arm; good carry on throws from 3B; can make all necessary throws.

Castellanos' future success is contingent on the bat. However, he's got an outstanding feel for the barrel, can drive the ball to all fields, and is going to grow into his power. As long as he stays at 3B, he's going to be a very nice asset, and can be a core player on a World Series caliber team.
