Nick Castellanos has a hero’s timing. There’s this sense of inevitability about him now. Did anyone not expect him to hit that grand slam? The only thing missing was the ball hitting a light tower. Does Nick call his bat WonderBoy?
Castellanos and Jesse Winker are the best 1-2 in the game and should be until Mike Trout comes off the 60-day IL after the all-star break to rejoin Shohei Ohtani, who’s merely having the greatest two-way season since Babe Ruth played in Boston.
Winker is a special hitter, no doubt, and should only get better.
