Diamondbacks still ‘very much looking to add’ to bullpen after Miguel Castro signing

The Arizona Diamondbacks' bullpen is “not a finished product” after recent addition of right-hander Miguel Castro, GM Mike Hazen said.

The Arizona Diamondbacks have added a pair of hard-throwing relievers over the past three weeks, most recently, but general manager Mike Hazen said he is still looking for more help in that area.

Hazen said Castro had appeal because of the power stuff he brings, including a fastball that sits in the upper 90s along with a slider and changeup. Last year, he logged a 4.03 ERA in 29 innings for the New York Yankees. He had a 3.45 ERA in 70 1/3 innings the year before with the New York Mets. The Diamondbacks’ bullpen ranked 25th in the majors in ERA . It featured relatively little in the way of power arms, ranking 29th in average fastball velocity and last in strikeouts.
