Whitecaps Castellano Strikes out 16
Sunday, August 31st , 2025
Everything was working for Eiberson Castellano at LMCU Ballpark. He had the perfect delivery. The ball was moving. The fastball was working.
In an unforgettable performance, the 24-year-old Castellano fanned 16 Chiefs and sparked the 16-1 West Michigan Whitecaps victory over Peoria. He left Chiefs hitters mumbling and muttering at the plate. And when he needed a strikeout, he got it.
"I don't know if there are many times that I've seen him throw better," said West Michigan manager . "His location and command were really something."
In addition to collecting 16 strikeouts over 7 innings, Castellano allowed 2 hits and no walks in a superlative outing.
"I thought I'd make it easy on the guys today," Castellano said with a smile.
In 2025 Castellano has collected no saves. He has 209 strikeouts and 14 walks in 117 innings while registering a 0.85 ERA and a 15-0 won-lost record.
