Writer's Analysis: This performance underscores a season that, while showing a modest .245 batting average, has been punctuated by timely power-hitting, as evidenced by his 20 home runs and 80 RBI over 146 games. His ability to draw walks, as seen in this game, complements his power, providing fantasy managers with a blend of patience and pop. Despite a relatively high strikeout rate, Castellanos remains a valuable asset in fantasy lineups, particularly in categories that reward power and run production.
