Other than his time in NOLA, Castillo also played for Liberty (2023) and Florida Atlantic (2021 and 2022). In his entire collegiate career, Castillo has batted .265 with 50 total RBIs. He's also played in four different summer baseball seasons, competing in two different leagues (South Florida Collegiate Baseball League and Valley League).

Castillo was a three-time All-Conference selection coming out of high school. He was also ranked as the number 28-ranked outfielder in the state of Florida.
