Locastro’s family used to call him his nickname Timmy. According to his mother, Colleen, he always wanted to play for the Little League World Series in Williamsport.

Despite the fact, he won regionals one year, but his dream of playing for the little league never came true.

Tim always remained courageous and strong-headed. He would jump off the diving board to swim without any fear of drowning when he was just two years old. Meanwhile, all his friends would gather to see him at the moment.

As Tim grew older, he would ride his bike at full speed, crash into the tree, fall, get back up again and keep trying until he rides safe.

Moreover, Tim’s grandmother used to race him to school in the morning. It was a really long time ago when he highly got fascinated by baseball with this rebelling kind of spirit.

Tim batted .436 with 13 doubles, six triples, four homers in his junior year and set a single-season record for Ithaca’s. He also amassed a staggering 29 times, full of vim and vigor, which also was the highest mark in all of Division III.

Toronto Blue Jays (2013-2015)

Tim always had his clear-cut intention to get his entrance to MLB real soon. And unsurprisingly, that plan did happen soon.

Toronto drafted him in the 13th round of the 2013 MLB draft. And coincidently, it was the 13th round, 13th June, and the year 2013.

Locastro performed for the  Bluefield Blue Jays of the Appalachian League in 2013, where he scored a solid .283 hit in 43 games.

Subsequently, he joined  Vancouver Canadians, where he enrolled in the Northwest League midseason all-star game. He deliberately hit .313 in 67 games and edged  32 bases while being caught only four times.

Tim started the 2015 season, playing for the Lansing Lugnuts of the Midwest League, where he appeared in 30 games scoring .310 hits with 30 steals.

He finally got a chance to do an at-bat in his third and final performance for the Dodgers on October 1. He recorded a hit against  Adam Ottavino and came second.  The sad part was Locastro was still not listed on the post-season roster.
