Daniel Castano joins the Miami Marlins, can become 44th Bear to play in MLB
MIAMI, Fla. – Daniel Castano has been called up to the Miami Marlins, the organization announced on Tuesday. This will be his first appearance on a Major League roster, and he can become the 44th former Baylor player to compete in an MLB game.
Â
The left-handed pitcher played at Baylor from 2014-16 and finished his career with a 13-15 record and a 3.91 ERA in 50 appearances and 37 starts with one complete game shutout. He allowed 128 runs on 260 hits with 89 walks and 147 strikeouts in 234.2 innings of work.
Â
Castano was selected in the 19th round by the St. Louis Cardinals in the 2016 MLB Draft and was traded to Miami in Dec. 2017.
Â
He finished 2019 with a 3.35 ERA with 73 strikeouts in 86 innings pitched for the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp, the Double-A affiliate for the Marlins. On Aug. 8, Castano tossed Jacksonville's first nine-inning complete game since 2014 when he allowed a run on five hits while walking none and fanning 13 in a 5-1 win over the Mississippi Braves.
Â
Over four seasons in the minors, Castano is 27-24 with a 3.76 ERA. He's struck out 335 while only logging 76 walks in 393 innings.
Â
The Marlins are 2-1 to start the shortened season. Miami is set to resume its season with a four-game series against the Orioles Tuesday night. The series was originally scheduled from July 27-28 in Miami and July 29-30 in Baltimore, but was postponed due to COVID-19.
