Daily News | Nick Castellanos settles into ‘best seat in the stadium’ behind Bryce Harper in Phillies’ lineup
The Phillies' Nick Castellanos preparing for the game against the Toronto Blue Jays at TD Ballpark in Dunedin, Fla.DUNEDIN, Fla. — Say this for Nick Castellanos’ first spring-training game with the Phillies: The view was spectacular.
If it happens, Castellanos will deserve a share of the credit. Too often last year, Harper was a one-man wrecking crew. Of his many achievements en route to being crowned National League MVP, the most astounding may have been putting up such big numbers with such little lineup protection, especially after Rhys Hoskins was lost for the season to lower abdominal surgery.
“Sure,” Castellanos said, smiling. “It’s just something I’ve started working on just to feel a little bit more rhythmic so I don’t get lackadaisical with my swings. I think it might help me with my pitch recognition.”“Sometimes I do antics out there that I’m like, ‘What are you doing?’” Castellanos said. “Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. But whatever I’m doing, it’s just what the game is telling me to do.
At least after he shook off butterflies. It’s true. Castellanos said he felt some nervousness before his spring debut with a new team.
