2026 Fantasy Outlook
Del Castillo was limited during the first half of 2025 by injuries (back, shoulder) and played just 14 games at Triple-A Reno (and another 14 on rehab assignment). He eventually joined Arizona following the All-Star break, mostly serving as a DH or pinch hitter. After a strong showing at the plate in his first taste of the majors in 2024, Del Castillo dropped to a .682 OPS last season, although he produced at Reno. The organization's goal was for him to continue to develop his defensive skills, but Del Castillo played just 16 games behind the plate across all three locations. That negates any thoughts that he could serve as a backup to Gabriel Moreno in 2026, so Arizona re-signed James McCann to be the primary backup. That doesn't mean Del Castillo will return to Reno, however; the lefty-hitter could serve as the primary DH against right-handers. Read Past Outlooks

Knocks homer in win
Del Castillo went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Giants.
Analysis
Del Castillo hadn't gone yard since May 3 versus the Cubs. He hit a meager .136 over 16 games during the power drought, adding just six RBI and a 6:16 BB:K before his long ball Tuesday. For the season, the 26-year-old is hitting .191 with a .586 OPS, four homers, 19 RBI, eight runs scored and four doubles across 120 plate appearances. Del Castillo continues to play regularly versus right-handed pitchers, splitting his time between designated hitter and catcher, though he's done nothing to challenge for a spot higher in the order.

How does Adrian Del Castillo compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

2025 Fantasy Outlook
Del Castillo was already having a breakout year at Triple-A Reno by the time he showed up in Arizona and acquitted himself well in 25 games while filling in for an injured Gabriel Moreno. The organization's Minor League Player of the Year, Del Castillo posted a 1.002 OPS and 26 homers in 2024 at Reno. Power numbers in the hitter-smooching Pacific Coast League are always taken with circumspection, but Del Castillo's jump from 2023 to 2024 was comical. He gained more than 300 points of OPS, 64 points of average and dropped his strikeout rate 12 points. Against MLB pitching, Del Castillo slashed .313/.368/.525 with four home runs in 87 plate appearances - and a much higher strikeout rate than he had in the minors. His bat may be able to carry him in the majors, but Moreno is entrenched as the No. 1 catcher, and Arizona may want a better defensive option as a backup.
