A judge has ordered Dominican Dominican pitcher Julio Castillo to 30 days in jail and three years probation for injuring a fan during an in-game fight.
Castillo should consider himself lucky as he was facing eight years in jail for throwing a fast ball in the direction of the opposing team’s dugout. The ball slipped out of his hand and he hit a fan.
The judge ordered Castillo to get anger management counseling, write an apology to the fan, stay employed and work toward a high school equivalency diploma.
