On long-term talent our Rating reads 22, 31st of 59 of the 59 centre-backs in the USL Championship. At 28 Castellanos is in his prime years, and a market index of 1.6 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.

Watch points
- Game time. Only 43.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.52 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 22.4, Castellanos carries the 31st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the USL Championship of 59. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
