Timeline

1927

His offensive numbers slightly declined, hitting for a .275 batting average (first time in 5 years he failed to eclipse the .300 mark) He finished the season with 33 home runs, but for the 4th year in a row he had 100+ RBIs (102).

1940

His 40th home run came in the last game of the season.

He finished the year hitting .304 with 113 RBIs.

At third base, he was NL leader in double plays turned (43) and assists (389).

1967

Vinicio "Vinny" Castilla Soria (born July 4, 1967) is a Mexican former Major League Baseball third baseman who played his best years with the Colorado Rockies and Atlanta Braves.

1990

The Atlanta Braves purchased Castilla's contract from the Saraperos de Saltillo out of the Mexican League in 1990.

1991

Previously, he played with the Atlanta Braves (1991–1992, 2002–2003), Colorado Rockies (1993–1999, 2004, 2006), Tampa Bay Devil Rays (2000–2001), Houston Astros (2001), Washington Nationals (2005), and San Diego Padres (2006).

He currently serves as a special assistant to the Rockies GM Bill Schmidt.

He made his MLB debut as a shortstop for the Braves on September 9, 1991.

1992

For the 1992 season he only appeared in eight games.

In November 1992 he was selected by the Rockies in the expansion draft.

1993

For the 1993 season he played regularly hitting nine home runs, nine triples (8th in the league) and 30 RBIs in 105 games as a shortstop.

1994

In 1994, his playing time was reduced due to the acquisition of shortstop Walt Weiss and the 1994-95 Major League Baseball strike.

Castilla only saw action in 52 games, however he made the best of it, hitting .311 with 11 doubles, playing all four positions in the infield.

1995

After the departure of starting third baseman Charlie Hayes, Castilla was the leading candidate to man third base for the 1995 season.

This, along with the help of manager Don Baylor, was the turning point in Castilla's career.

By the all star break he was hitting .319 with 17 home runs and 48 runs batted, earning him a backup spot in the All Star team.

He was later named the starting third baseman for the NL after Matt Williams was out with an injury.

He finished the season with a .309 batting average, 32 home runs, 34 doubles and 90 RBIs, earning his first Silver Slugger Award.

In the NLDS against Atlanta he hit .467 with three home runs (two against Greg Maddux and one against John Smoltz).

Many considered Castilla's numbers to be a fluke because he played his home games in the friendly confines of a thin-air Denver stadium, a stigma that would follow Vinny for most of his Colorado career.

1996

In 1996 he surpassed his numbers from the previous year.

1997

For the 1997 season he would have exactly the same totals of home runs, RBIs and batting average (40/113/.304) than the prior year, as well as three multi-homer games.

He earned his second Silver Slugger Award in three years.

Defensively, for second year in a row, he led the league in both assists (323) and double plays for a third baseman (41).

1998

Castilla's most productive season was 1998.

On opening day he hit the first ever home run at Bank One Ballpark of Arizona Diamondbacks.

That year he earned his second All-Star nod and his first Home Run Derby selection, in front of his home crowd in Colorado.

1999

On April 4, 1999, Castilla was a part of history as the Rockies played their Opening Day contest in his native Mexico at Estadio de Béisbol Monterrey in Monterrey.

The game marked the first time MLB commenced the regular season outside of the United States or Canada.

The Rockies' opponent were the defending National League champion San Diego Padres.

Castilla delighted the crowd with four hits including a double, as Colorado won 8–2.

During the Monterrey series in Mexico, Castilla switched briefly to number 14 on his jersey, in honor of former Rockies first baseman Andrés Galarraga (then with the Atlanta Braves), who was diagnosed with cancer and missed the entire ‘99 season.

On June 6, 1999, Castilla produced his first career three-home run game against the Milwaukee Brewers.

2000

Prior to the 2000 season, Castilla was sent to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, a team that featured veteran sluggers Jose Canseco, Greg Vaughn and Fred McGriff.

However, he played only in 85 games, hitting .221 with six home runs.

2016

Playing in 160 games, he scored 97 runs, to go with 191 hits (7th in the NL) and 34 doubles.

Playing in all 162 games, he finished the season with 46 home runs (4th in the league), 144 RBIs (3rd), 206 hits (3rd), 380 total bases (3rd), 108 runs scored and a .319 batting average (10th in the league), all career-highs and good enough numbers to finish 11th in the NL MVP ballot.
