Can the Phillies do without Nick Castellanos? No way!

Nick Castellanos is a name that can be heard a lot lately, and the reason is that a lot depends on his game. Right now, it's impossible to imagine the Phillies going up against the best in the league without Nick playing the way he's expected to. Especially since Jean Segura and Bryce Harper can't play due to injuries.

It was a really big night for Nick Castellanos against the Braves, all to help the Philadelphia Phillies finish June with a 19-8 record. In other words, he knocked down a hard-hit single in the first and an opposite-field three-home run in the second.

Nick Castellanos was in a bit of a slump in May batting .207 with a .538 OPS. His struggles have drawn more attention since Bryce broke his left thumb on Saturday. However, if Nick hits in July like Rhys Hoskins and Kyle Schwarber in June, the Phillies could be getting better.

Nick is known to see more sliders than others, likely due to his overall chase rate of 38.3%, the second-highest mark since 2015. Compared to last year, he is hitting .266 against fastballs.
