FACTS/FLUKES: L. Castillo, Ward, Civale, Kwan, Kikuchi

Castillo finally left a hitter-friendly home ballpark... A shoulder injury delayed the start of the season for Luis Castillo (RHP, SEA). In 2022, Castillo finished with a 2.99 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, and 19.8% K-BB% in 150.1 IP. He improved in the second half, evidenced by a 2.92 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, and 22% K-BB%, primarily with the Mariners. What do the underlying skills indicate? And what's in store in 2023?
