'It's inspiring:' Nick Castellanos has been more than a power hitter for the Reds

Off the bat, Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Castellanos ran like he intended to score.

In the bottom of the third inning of Friday night’s 10-3 win over Cleveland, the Reds third baseman hit a line drive down the third-base line. After Castellanos rounded second base at full speed, Reds third base coach J.R. House never stopped waving his arm to send Castellanos home.

Castellanos reached home plate at the same time as the throw from the outfield arrived at the plate, and his slide knocked the ball out of Cleveland catcher Roberto Pérez’s glove.

But Castellanos had missed home plate on the slide.
