I had the privilege to hang out with Santiago Casilla in Hato Mayor, Dominican Republic a few weeks ago.
We were speaking at the same baseball conference put on for about 150 Dominican baseball coaches.
Santiago has an amazing story that includes going from Low A, to High A, to AA, to AAA, and then to Big Leagues… All in about 6 weeks!! That had never been done in the history of Oakland A’s baseball.
Santiago has been with the SF Giants since 2010 and has gone back and forth as set up man and closer.
Many thanks to Santiago for taking some time to hang out and share with Next Level Ballplayer.
