Tim's Big Day: Arizona Diamondbacks' and Auburn native Tim Locastro walks to his position in right field during the game against the New York Yankees in Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, N.Y., July 31, 2019. Locastro went to Yankee Stadium once in his life as a seven-year-old fan and now returns for the first time as a major leaguer. Locastro's day wall filled with career firsts for the young player including a solo hom run in the ninth inning.
Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder and Auburn native Tim Locastro will participate in a Facebook Live interview with The Citizen this week.
Locastro will be interviewed by The Citizen's Robert Harding at 6 p.m. Wednesday, May 13. The interview will be streamed live at facebook.com/auburncitizen.
Locastro is in his second season with the Diamondbacks. He batted .250, stolen 17 bases and set a single-season club record with 22 hits by pitches in 2019. He also hit his first major league home run a solo shot at Yankee Stadium against the New York Yankees, the team he rooted for as a youngster.
He was considered a lock for the Diamondbacks' Opening Day roster in 2020, but Major League Baseball hasn't played a single regular season game due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It's possible the MLB season will start without fans, but no decision has been made by the league.
