Brent Castleberry  
Starting Pitcher | Yellowknife Bluenotes

Pitching
His curveball is solid; he throws it better than your average starter. Castleberry can get into trouble with walks, and there's concern about him being able to maintain his stuff over the whole season. His fastball is just average, and therefore he relies heavily on placing it in different parts of the strike zone or setting it up with his curveball. Castleberry also has a decent changeup. He traditionally fares better against lefties.

Defense & Hitting
He has a fair pickoff move and isn't a particularly easy target for basestealers. Castleberry is nothing special in the field. Castleberry is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Castleberry has some pop in his swing.

2025 Outlook
Castleberry has arguably the best stuff in baseball.
