Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Nick Castellanos went 2-for-4 with a double in the team's 2-1 win over the visiting Chicago Cubs on Sunday. The double was Castellanos' first extra-base hit since May 9. Despite the lack of power of late, the 31-year-old outfielder is hitting .303 (54-for-178) with 15 doubles, five home runs, 26 RBI, two stolen bases and 32 runs scored in 192 plate appearances and 46 games so far this year. Fantasy managers certainly can't complain about that after he hit just .263 with 13 home runs and 62 RBI in 136 games in his first year in Philly in 2022. He's hitting .288 (19-for-66) with five doubles, only one home run, nine RBI and two thefts in 17 games in the month of May.
Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Nick Castellanos went 2-for-4 with his first stolen base of the year in a 2-1 walk-off win over the Blue Jays on Wednesday. In his last game, Castellanos went 3-for-4 with a homer, putting the 31-year-old up to a .336 average (36-for-107) with five bombs and 18 RBI over the last month of play. It's a huge leap from Castellanos' dismal Phillies debut season when he logged a weak .694 OPS. The former Silver Slugger leads the NL in doubles (14), but stolen bases could be sporadic for right fielder. Castellanos looks to terrorize the substandard Rockies pitching staff during an upcoming weekend series at the hitters paradise that is Coors Field, which would only continue to amplify the former all-star's surging fantasy value.
In Wednesday's Seattle Mariners game, J.P. Crawford had an impressive performance against the Phillies, going 3-for-4 with a double and a grand slam. He kicked off the second inning with a bang, hitting a grand slam off Taijuan Walker, followed by a solo homer from Julio Rodriguez. Crawford's outing included hitting a single in the seventh inning and a double in the ninth. However, he came up just short of a cycle missing a triple. Despite being in the ninth spot of the batting order, Crawford has been incredibly successful at the plate this season, batting .271/.407/.414 with 14 runs scored in 87 at-bats.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Nick Castellanos didn't start his tenure in the City of Brotherly Love the way he wanted. Over 141 games, he hit .263 with just 13 homers, his lowest total since 2014, drove in 62 and scored 56 runs. The only bright spot was Castellanos' seven stolen bases, a career-high. The 30-year-old's quality of contact was ugly and far from his career norms, as he posted a 22nd-percentile average exit velocity and 39th-percentile barrel rate. Castellanos hit the ball on the ground 42.9% of the time, his highest rate as a big-leaguer, and he again rarely pulled fly balls (15.2%). His poor pitch selection hit a new level in 2022 and likely played a significant role in his production. Castellanos' swing rate has increased each of the past two seasons and reached a 57% mark this year. The veteran made minimal contact when he did swing (32.2% whiff rate) and chased almost 40% of the time, finishing in the 6th percentile. Castellanos didn't strike out a crazy amount at 23.3%, but that's too high when he's not hitting the ball with force. A return to his old self will be hard if he can't be more patient at the plate, and there's no evidence that'll happen. Castellanos plays at one of the best hitter-friendly parks, and a natural regression in his quality of contact means he'll probably smack at least 20 home runs. However, his .257 batting average, four steals, and 146 RBI plus runs projected by Steamer aren't enough to complement his unspectacular power at his ADP of 126. Instead of drafting Castellanos, wait and take Anthony Santander (135 ADP) or Taylor Ward (137 ADP).
