If you’ve watched almost any baseball game at Miami over the past two seasons, the chances of missing the hitting performances of catcher Adrian Del Castillo are likely slim to none.
The Miami native recorded .331 batting average and racked up 72 RBIs while starting all 62 games in just his freshman year alone. That lofty season led him to Freshman All-America honors in 2019, in addition to being slotted in the All-Starkville Regional Team despite Miami’s early NCAA Tournament defeat at the hands of Mississippi State.
