A few additional notes and quotes on Detroit Tigers pitching prospect Anthony Castro, who a few days ago shared his thoughts on the situation in his native Venezuela:

The right-hander told me he?s topped out at 96 MPH this year, and typically sits 93-94. He described his velocity as ?good, but nothing fantastic like Noah Syndergaard, or Max Scherzer, or Gerrit Cole.? He?s working on a sinker to augment his four-seamer, which gets natural cutting action. He feels his changeup has been better than his curveball in recent outings.

Scherzer is one of his favorite pitchers to watch, largely because of how competitive he is. He?s also a huge fan of Felix Hernandez ? ?one of the best pitchers born in my country? ? who he noted is dealing with health issues.

Castro had Tommy John surgery in May 2015, and returned to the mound in June 2016. He feels he learned a lot during his recovery period by closely watching big-league pitchers. He paid attention to ?all the little details,? focusing more on failure than success. Castro opined that ?It?s no use when they throw a no hitter or a perfect game. I like to know what the people who are making a lot of millions do when they have bad outings.?
