Track Record: Signed for $160,000 out of the Dominican Republic during the January 2022 international signing period, Casilla made his stateside debut with the Rockies’ Arizona Complex League affiliate in 2024, appearing in 12 games. Casilla showed impressive stuff, striking out 32.9% of batters he faced, but his 16.2% walk rate ballooned his ERA to 7.00. Casilla sustained an arm injury in fall instructs and walked off the mound after throwing a breaking ball. Casilla received treatment and is expected to begin the season in Low-A Fresno’s bullpen.

Scouting Report: A projectable lefthander with a thicker lower half and strength gains to come, Casilla has a fast arm and releases the ball from a higher arm slot with a shorter arm action. He mixes a trio of pitches in a fastball, curveball and changeup. Casilla’s fastball sat 92-94 mph in 2023 in the DSL but was sitting 94-95 mph and touched 99 mph during the ACL season. Despite below-average hop and heavy cut, the ingredients of a plus fastball are present. Casilla’s primary secondary is a slurvy low-80 slider sitting 81-83 mph with raw spin rates in the 2,600-2,700 rpm range. His changeup is a firm upper-80s offering with unusual shape, which looks like a cut-splitter. It has little vertical or velocity separation from his fastball but was effective when landed in 2024. Casilla’s command is below-average and he struggles to consistently land his fastball. Strike-throwing will be the difference between a future as starter or a wild, relief-only prospect.

The Future: In order for Casilla to reach a realistic rotation outcome he’ll have to prove he can throw consistent strikes.

Scouting Grades: Fastball: 60 | Slider: 55 | Changeup: 45 | Control: 40.
