4 years agoColorado Rockies starting pitcher Ryan Castellani had a rough outing in his Cactus League debut on Wednesday against the Athletics. He only surrendered two hits, which led to seven runs (four earned), while also walking a pair over his two innings of work. The poor outing wasn't entirely his fault, though, as a few costly errors by first baseman C.J. Cron and left fielder Raimel Tapia factored into the inflated run total. Castellani didn't look sharp for his part, however, as only 24 of his 44 pitches went for strikes. Command was an issue for the 24-year-old last season as well, when he registered a rough 5.82 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 25:26 K:BB ratio over 43 1/3 innings (nine starts). He's currently competing for a rotation spot with Austin Gomber and will need to improve on his command if he wants to win the job. He's not a recommended fantasy arm, even if he does make the starting rotation.--Jon Mathisen - RotoBaller
