"Nick Castellanos’ Game-Changing Hit: How His ‘No-Plan’ Approach is Igniting the Phillies!

hey everyone welcome back to sports RS where we break down everything happening in the World of Sports today we're diving into the Philadelphia Phillies and how Nick castellano's consistency with the plate is paying off big time for this suddenly hot team let's get into it Nick Castellanos has always been known as a free swinger you might even call him the ultimate SE ball hit ball guy he admitted back in May in Miami that he's never been the type to have a concrete plan when he steps into the batter's box but that instinctual approach has both it ups and downs one of the most intriguing aspects of castellano's season is that he's seen fewer fast balls than any other hitter in the Mages with at least 1,500 pitches seen why well pitchers know that when Castellanos gets a hold of a fast bow he can do serious damage and that's exactly what happened Tuesday night against the Houston Astros Astros Ace Justin valanda made a rare mistake after delivering a first pitch fast ball that castellano's leted go by Vanda decided to follow up with an offspeed pitch a curveball Castellanos was ready for it and he crushed it for a three-run homer giving the Phillies a comfortable lead now Castellanos said he was kicking himself after letting that first fast ball go by but he also mentioned that he was actually planning to hit something with spin anyway maybe this is a glimpse into that no plan plan of his Castellano is even referenced assistant hitting coach Dustin Lind who has a saying sometimes you have to pay your taxes meaning sometimes you have to let a good pitch go to get the one you really want the Lander on the other hand admitted after the game that he went against his Instincts by throwing the curveball he felt Castellanos was sitting soft and unfortunately for the Astros he was right with that home run Castellanos provided a 4-run cushion for Aaron NOLA who was lights out Nola pitched seven scoreless Innings striking out six and only walking one the Phillies fans gave him a much deserved Ovation as he walked off the field in the seventh inning and it wasn't just the fans who appreciated Nola's effort Castellanos himself was is waiting for him at The Dugout steps ready to congratulate his teammate for a fantastic performance so what does this mean for the Phillies moving forward with Castellano swinging a hot bat and the rest of the team firing on all cylinders it looks like this squad could be a real threat as we move deeper into the season if Castellanos keeps seeing the ball like this it's going to be a fun ride for Philly fans that's all for today's breakdown make sure to like subscribe and hit that notification Bell so you never miss out on our latest updates drop a comment below with your thoughts on Castellanos and the Philly recent surge thanks for watching and we'll see you next time
