Castillo Brings Home ABL Batter of Month Honor Monday, August 1st , 1977 Manuel Castillo battered American Baseball League pitchers all July and wound up taking home the Batter of the Month Award. "I've been around Major League Baseball long enough to know you really have to work hard day in and day out to be able to put up this kind of consistency," the 28-year-old Castillo told reporters. "I put in a lot of work, even on the days I might not take the field, and it's always nice when everything comes together for me like it did this last month." In 26 games, Castillo hit .365 with 12 home runs, 21 RBIs and scored 21 runs. This season, Castillo has banged out 125 hits in 386 at-bats for a .324 average with 26 home runs.
