Lou Castro was a professional baseball player born in 1876, whose career spanned from 1902 to 1904. He played primarily as a position player, participating in a total of 42 games during his time in Major League Baseball. Castro made a notable impact at the plate, accumulating 35 hits and driving in 15 runs, which reflected his ability to contribute offensively despite a batting average of .245. His power was limited, as he recorded only 1 home run, but he demonstrated speed on the bases with 2 stolen bases throughout his career. Playing in the early 1900s, a period characterized by the transition from the deadball era to a more modern style of play, Castro's contributions came during a time when baseball was evolving.
