Wrapped up a great 2026 baseball season @PrepBaseballIL State Games today. This journey began last November when I started training with my new @RaysIllinois teammates. From indoor winter training in McHenry > @TNTignite 3x Weekly > Baseball Fest in PCB > Preseason ID’s @PrepBaseballIL and @PrepBaseballAL > @IowaPG showcase > high school season @FremdBaseball (21-12-1) > an amazing summer with my @RaysIllinois Green teammates (22-10-2 & advancing to Championship Bracket in final 5 tournaments) — 2026 was one for the ages. I established many goals in January —- I hit most goals and improved ALL my key metrics. Time to set new goals for the upcoming @Fremd_Football season and the 2027 baseball seasons. My summer stats — Offense (Leadoff Hitter - 7 games | 3 Hitter - 27 games): GP - 34 AVG - .337 (30-89) OBP - .422 SLG - .483 OPS- .905 RBI - 21 Defense (85% of Innings in CF): TC - 74 PO - 71 A - 1 FPCT - .973 Pitching (Relief): IP - 3 ER - 0 @PrepBaseballIL @DrewLocascio @PeterHamot13 @PG_Illinois @D4Sharp @mickmatsie @PaulBelo2 @GregReinhard19 @cpigs25 @FremdBaseball @RaysIllinois

Plus defender, that can really swing it. @MJCastelloni7

Wrapped up our third summer tourney @Bullpenevents with my @RaysIllinois teammates. Competed for 14 games at the MPL 16U D1 (6/16-6/19), the ABC 17U Invite (7/9-7/12), and the ABC 16U Invite (7/16-7/19) against some of the top 2027/2028 competition from the Country, going 10-4 combined. Proud of my teammates! My personal offensive stats over 14 GP AVG = .421 (16-38) OPS = 1.003 XBH = 4 RBI = 10 Runs = 13 BB/K = 4/4 #16ABC | #17ABC | @PB_Uncommitted @DrewLocascio @PeterHamot13 @PrepBaseballIL @GregReinhard19 @mickmatsie @Cody_Freund9 @PG_Illinois @PG_Scouting @FremdBaseball @cpigs25 @WeAreNWT

HUGE weekend for this guy to continue the big summer he’s had!!

Proud to have found a home @RaysIllinois. My 2028 (16U) Green teammates and I played up this weekend @Bullpenevents 17U Invite. We went 3-0 in pool play, advancing to the Platinum (top) Bracket and ultimately the round of 16. We finished 4-1 on the weekend and put together some complete team victories. Congrats to our 2027 (17U) Green team who are still rolling! Personally, I followed up on last weekend’s @PG_Illinois Windy City Invitational MVP with my best offensive performance this summer and made some big plays in CF. Stats from the weekend — GP - 5 Offense — Avg = .615 (8-13) OPS = 1.513 XBH = 3 RBI = 4 Defense — TC = 13 Assist = 1 PO = 12 F% = 1.000 #17ABC | @PB_Uncommitted @DrewLocascio @PeterHamot13 @PrepBaseballIL @GregReinhard19 @mickmatsie @Cody_Freund9 @PG_Illinois @PG_Scouting @FremdBaseball @cpigs25

OF MJ Castelloni (Fremd, 2028) is a good follow. Swing works from the left side w/ projection in his 6-foot, 161-pound frame. 👍 Looks the part in the outfield with arm strength (T85). @PB_Uncommitted | #17ABC

Congrats to 17u and 16u Green teams on making Platinum Bracket @Bullpenevents ABC 17u Invite ! @GregReinhard19

‘28 MJ Castelloni (IL, @MJCastelloni7) 6-0, 161 LBS. Slightly open setup, higher leg kick stride works back to even, quiet hands pre-pitch, linear lower-half. Drives this ball to the wall in RCF for a 2 RBI 2B 👇 #17ABC || @PrepBaseballIL

Thank you @PG_Illinois for recognizing me as MVP at the PG 16U Windy City Invitational. Proud to win the championship with my @RaysIllinois teammates and finish 4-0-1 over the weekend. I batted .429 (6-14) with 1-2B, 2-3B, 6-RBI and a 1.252 OPS. I also pitched the final 2 innings of the Championship game allowing 1-H with 2-K’s and allowed 0 runs. @PrepBaseballIL @DrewLocascio @PeterHamot13 @FremdBaseball @cpigs25 @pbtscouting @PG_Scouting instagram.com/stories/pg_win…

Congrats to both the 2028’s & 2030’s on their 🏆 runs this week @PG_Illinois #WCinvite 👏 👏👏

’28 OF MJ Castelloni (IL) lines this ball into the gap for a stand-up triple. Displays quality bat speed with a smooth, level swing. Finished 2-for-3 on the day. #WCInvite @RaysIllinois

Kid has been on the barrel consistently! @MJCastelloni7 @RaysIllinois

Hitters Hit! @MJCastelloni7

MJ Castelloni (‘28 IL) Comes off the bat hard and low to drive ball into RF. Finds some grass along the line and brings a runner home. #NatElite @PG_OhioValley
