Nick Castellanos has sent Philadelphia Phillies fans crazy once again after launching a home run against the Arizona Diamondbacks during the National League Championship Series game on Monday. He joined the legendary Reggie Jackson to become the only two players to hit five homers over three postseason games. The Phillies went on to take an early lead on the night and Castellanos extended his team's lead with a blast into the right-field stands, sending fans crazy over social media.
Nick Castellanos is only in his second season in Philadelphia and has already become a crowd favorite during his time there. After playing the majority of his career with the Detroit Tigers, the slugger changed clubs twice over three years before signing with the Phillies as a free agent in 2022. He has been one of their best players over the season and is only getting better in the postseason.
Phillies started Game 1 of the NLCS against the Diamondbacks on the front foot, scoring two home runs in the first inning thanks to Kyle Scwarber and Bryce Harper. Castellanos then extended the lead with his solo homer in the second extending his impressive record in the postseason this year. Fans were jubilant as their team looked to be heading towards victory in their quest for the World Series.
