Manuel Castro, a member of the Pericos de Puebla Academy in Atlixco, was signed by the San Diego Padres Major League Baseball organization as a prospect pitcher, which is why he will soon begin his process with a plan to make his debut soon.

Emmanuel Rangel, scout of the San Diego Padres, revealed that they had been following Manuel Castro's steps for a couple of years; however, due to the health emergency they had not been able to finalize the move.
