Nick Castellanos News
Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Nick Castellanos went hitless in a pair of at-bats in Friday's Grapefruit League contest versus the Miami Marlins. The veteran flew out to center field in his first trip to the plate in the second inning before lining out to third base in the fourth. The hitless effort lowered his spring-training average to just .125 (1-for-8) with a pair of strikeouts against zero walks across eight trips to the plate. The 31-year-old was involved in minor trade speculation this offseason on the heels of a season that saw him hit .272 with 29 home runs, 11 stolen bases, and a career-high 106 RBI and 11 stolen bases. Aside from an odd 2022 season, Castellanos is a fairly safe power bet with ATC projecting 24 home runs, eight stolen bases, 87 RBI, and a .263 average for the outfielder in the 2024 season.
Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Nick Castellanos could reportedly be traded by the club this offseason. The Phillies are "open to the possibility" of trading Castellanos which could clear three years and $60 million off their books. The veteran enjoyed a solid bounce-back season in his second year with the Phillies, hitting .272 with a career-high 29 home runs and 11 stolen bases across 157 appearances. He went on to slug five more home runs alongside an .843 OPS in 47 postseason at-bats before the Phillies were eliminated by the D-backs in the NLCS. Should the Phillies shop Castellanos, they should have a fairly wide range of suitors considering his career .276 average and .799 OPS in parts of 11 seasons, production that grades out 12% above the league average, as per his career 112 wRC+.
Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Nick Castellanos was the difference in the series-clinching 3-1 win over the Atlanta Braves on Thursday in Game 4 of the National League Division Series. Castellanos was seeing the ball well, going 3-for-3 with two solo home runs and a walk to send the Phillies to the Championship Series for the second straight year with an NLDS series win over their division rivals and the best team in baseball record-wise in 2023. The 31-year-old has a whopping four home runs in back-to-back games after slugging 29 long balls during the regular season. Castellanos is red-hot heading into an NLCS matchup against the Arizona Diamondbacks. He's gone 9-for-23 (.391) with four homers, two doubles, five RBI, a steal and six runs scored in six postseason games this year.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Nick Castellanos enjoyed a bounce-back season in 2023 and continues to be a middle-of-the-lineup menace. His 2022 season saw him hit just 13 home runs in 138 games while his isolated power dipped all the way to just .126, by far a career-low. However, he returned in 2023 to slug 29 home runs while adding another 37 doubles and a pair of triples to his ledger, good for a .204 ISO that was right in line with his .199 career mark. His walk rates continue to flounder (5.4% in 2023) but the 31-year-old drove in a career-high 106 runs a season ago, the second time in three years he has reached the century mark in RBI. His off-and-on trend over the last four seasons is a concern and his .323 xwOBA ranked in the league's 42nd percentile last season. However, he has a top supporting cast that will yield plenty of run-scoring and run-producing opportunities again in 2023. He isn't likely worth a top-100 pick like many of his Phillies teammates but Castellanos' 103.58 ADP is right in line with RotoBaller's 105 ranking, giving him fair value on draft day.
