View Draft Report

Costello is a 6-foot-1, 205-pound third baseman and outfielder who has spent four seasons with San Diego as a contact-oriented hitter. He owns a career .298/.373/.481 slash line with 24 home runs—never more than eight in a single season—and minimizes his strikeouts. Costello is more of a doubles hitter who might not have the power to profile at third base or left field, so either adding more power or improving his defensive profile will be keys for him in pro ball. Most of his power goes to the pull side now, but he does own an impressive 91% career in-zone contact rate, which is a hard skill to teach.
