Philadelphia Phillies OF Nick Castellanos Earns NL All-Star Nod

The Philadelphia Phillies are currently one of the hottest teams in baseball, and a lot of that is because of their MLB all-star outfielder Nick Castellanos.

According to CBS,

After a down first year in Philadelphia, Nick Castellanos has bounced back. The slugger was named to the NL All-Star team Sunday for the second time in his career. 

He made it in 2021 as a member of the Cincinnati Reds. The 2023 MLB All-Star Game will take place in Seattle on Tuesday, July 11. 

Castellanos leads the Phillies in batting average at .316, he’s tied for first with Alec Bohm for RBIs with 54 and has smacked 12 homers. 

One of those homers came in Sunday’s 5-4 loss vs. the Washington Nationals. On Saturday, he hit another long-ball in the team’s 19-4 victory over the Nats — the Phillies’ lone win of the series. 

Castellanos is the Phillies’ only All-Star. 

The 2023 MLB All-Star Game takes place on Tuesday, July 11th at 8pm EST live from Seattle, Washington.
