Astros | Jason Castro

Houston Astros C Jason Castro will work closely with catchers coach Jeff Murphy this spring in order to become the complete package behind the dish and shore up his defensive skills. "I know that I didn't play the way I wanted to definitely," Castro said. "I learned a lot and saw some progression as the year went on, and I thought I tried to make some adjustments where I could. Having Murph in camp here has been fantastic. We went to work Day One, and I can tell I'll definitely be ready and healthy and prepared as I've ever been to the start the season." Murphy mentored St. Louis Cardinals C Yadier Molina and current manager Mike Matheny.
