The Gateway Grizzlies announce that they have re-signed outfielder Victor Castillo for the upcoming 2025 season.
Castillo signed with Gateway at the start of July in 2024 out of the University of New Orleans, where he batted .317 with 10 home runs, 33 RBIs, and a .478 on-base percentage. He then played in four games before being sent to the New England Knockouts in a trade on July 8, but was re-acquired by the Grizzlies at the roster deadline in August, and proceeded to be an everyday player the rest of the way, batting .291 with eight doubles, 13 RBIs, and seven stolen bases in nine attempts over 21 total contests with Gateway.
Including his stay in New England, the left-handed-hitting, Tallahassee, Florida native finished 2024 with a .318 average, 11 doubles, three homers, 29 RBIs, 31 runs scored, 56 hits, and 18 stolen bases in 22 attempts over 47 games.
