Drexel’s steady infield spark with pop and hustle
In the 2026 season, Ariana Castillo emerged as a versatile Drexel infielder who paired contact hitting with timely extra-base impact, finishing with a .281 average, 16 hits, 2 doubles, 13 runs, and 5 RBIs while adding 27 putouts and 22 assists defensively.[1] She also showed a clutch gear late in the year, including a 3-for-3 game with a run scored and a 2-for-3 outing with a double and RBI, which suggests she brings competitive intensity and situational value beyond the box score.[1][4][9]
