With two strikes on him, Castellanos steps out of the box, swings the bat, grimaces a little as he adjusts his helmet, then steps back up to the plate. The next pitch misses outside and so low that it kicks up dirt. He chases anyway, bat nowhere close to making contact with the ball.
This could have played out in almost any game last season. If you’re anything like me, you yelled at your TV, asking how this guy can keep chasing the same unhittable pitch over and over again.
If you peruse the comments of any article that even mentions him, including on this site, you’ll find a variety of derision and rancor directed at Castellanos.
