Phillies slugger Nick Castellanos knows what it’s like to struggle as an infielder. After Bryson Stott committed two errors on Opening Day, he told Stott in the clubhouse afterwards that when he played third base for the Tigers, he would keep himself up at night looking at opposing team’s lineups and figuring out which hitters were likely to hit a ground ball to him.
In a way, he prepared for failure before giving himself a chance to succeed.
