Starlin Castro had an impressive start in his baseball career. He hit a home run in his first Major League At Bat, making history as the first player born in the 1990s to appear in the Show. Over the next few seasons, Castro became the team's spark plug, finishing fifth in National League Rookie of the Year voting. He led the NL in At Bats during the years 2011-13 and in 2011, became the youngest person to lead a league in Hits with 207. Castro was also selected for three All-Star Games in a four-year period (2011, 2012 & 2014), making him a valuable asset to the Chicago Cubs.
Despite his success, the Cubs thought Castro was expendable and traded him to the New York Yankees. He played for the Yankees for two seasons, adding a fourth All-Star in 2018 when he batted an even .300. The Yankees later traded him to the Miami Marlins, where he played for two years. In 2019, Castro had over 20 home runs (22) for the first time in his career. However, the Marlins declined his option, and he signed with the Washington Nationals as a Free Agent. Unfortunately, he missed most of 2020 due to a wrist injury and was investigated by MLB for domestic violence in 2021, leading to a 30-day suspension. The Nationals cut him, and Castro was never seen in the Majors again.
Despite his promising start, Castro left the game with 1,722 Hits and 138 Home Runs, leaving fans to wonder what could have been.
