Frank Castillo Autographs
Frank Castillo was an accomplished baseball pitcher who played professionally for 13 seasons from 1991 to 2005. Born in El Paso, Texas in 1969, Castillo attended Eastwood High School before being drafted by the Chicago Cubs in the sixth round of the 1987 MLB draft. He quickly climbed the ranks of the Cubs organization, making his debut in 1991 and becoming a regular member of the starting rotation by 1992.
Throughout his career, Castillo played primarily as a starting pitcher, but also worked as a reliever and closer for several teams, including the Colorado Rockies, Detroit Tigers, Toronto Blue Jays, and the Boston Red Sox. In total, he appeared in 350 games, earning a record of 82-104 with a 4.56 ERA and 1,121 strikeouts. He was known for his high fastball and good control, as well as his ability to consistently go deep into games, having pitched at least 200 innings in three separate seasons.
While Castillo may not have achieved the same level of recognition as some of the more well-known pitchers of his time, such as Randy Johnson or Greg Maddux, he was a respected player and contributed to several memorable games and moments throughout his career. In fact, his most notable achievement may have come in 1995, when he pitched a complete game shutout against the St. Louis Cardinals while striking out 13 batters, setting a new Cubs franchise record for strikeouts in a game. Castillo tragically passed away in 2013 at the age of 44, but his impressive legacy as a talented and respected pitcher lives on.
