Melvin Castro Named 3L's Best Player Thursday, October 28th, 2021 At the age of 23, Melvin Castro of the Panama City Piranhas could very well have his best years ahead of him. It's a startling thought when you consider the year he had in 2021 was good enough to win the right fielder the Third League Outstanding Hitter Award. "See the ball, hit the ball," he said. "That's my basic approach." The top hitter put up a .336 batting average this year, as well as a .453 on-base percentage. He played 107 games and racked up 139 hits, 29 doubles, 3 triples, 29 home runs, 92 RBIs and 80 runs scored. Bob Dickerson of the Houston 1837 Colt .45s finished second in voting, while Marc Talamante of the Panama City Piranhas finished third. |
