Nick Castellanos Slashing .306/.333/.653 Through 12 Games
4 years agoCincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Castellanos is off to a solid start to the 2021 season. Through 12 games, he's slashing .306/.333/.653 with four home runs, three doubles, eight RBI and 10 runs. While he's only walked one time so far this year, he's cut down his strikeouts significantly. He currently has a strikeout rate of just 13.7%, which is less than half of what it was last year (28.5%). His xwOBA (.487) and xwoBACON (.558) both rank amongst the top 5% of the league. Castellanos looks primed for a big 2021 season. He should be a great source of power with the potential to hit for a solid batting average as well.
