Pedro Castellanos went 3-for-4 with two doubles (4) in yesterday's 4-1 Cardenales de Lara loss. The 23-year-old slugger has been on a roll since the start of the Venezuelan Winter League slashing .288/.315/.558 with four home runs over 54 PA.
This is a guy who showed lots of BP power, but never really found it in game. 15 HR in 321 games from 2016-2019. He had a career high 13 this year at Portland. The only problem is that he also had a career low in doubles. He's 6'3" and not athletic. Future 1B/DH who was pushed to the OF in 2021 because the doesn't have an organizational path forward at 1B. Current 49th ranked prospect who peaked at #16 prior to 2018 season.
