2021 Fantasy Outlook
On the heels of a .321/.356/.646 run with the Cubs in 2019, Castellanos signed with the Reds, and it was easy to dream on his bat in Great American Ball Park. Castellanos led all of MLB with 58 doubles in 2019. In theory, a few more of those would clear the fences and he would possibly challenge for 40 HR over a full season. Circumstances out of his control kept Castellanos from showing what he could do over a 162-game season in 2020, and his performance fluctuated in the shortened season, but Castellanos still finished with 27 extra-base hits in 60 regular-season games for the Reds. He is a free swinger and at times in 2020 expanded his strike zone way too much, with the low-and-away pitch proving particularly tough to lay off. Castellanos' defense in the outfield continues to grade out poorly, but that should not affect his playing time much with the Reds and the rate stats seem bound to improve. Read Past Outlooks

Back in action Friday
Castellanos (finger) is batting second and starting in right field during Friday's spring game against the Dodgers, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
The 29-year-old was scratched earlier this week with a sore right middle finger, but he'll return to the lineup after resting for a couple days. Castellanos shouldn't have any issues being ready for the start of the regular season, barring a setback.

Castellanos has quietly strung together three quality seasons, averaging .287 with 25 homers, 87 runs and 88 RBI in that span. His calling card is an average exit velocity consistently above average since Statcast began tracking in 2015. Castellanos also rates high in barrels, helping support a career .333 BABIP. He needs the elevated hit rate as Castellanos walks only 6% of the time. The former third baseman turned outfielder began the season with the Tigers, slashing .278/.328/.462 before the Cubs acquired him at the deadline. Castellanos raked for his new club, posting a .321/.356/.646 line. Entering his age-28 season, Castellanos is a free agent with a good chance to sign a long-term deal. From a fantasy perspective, he provides a solid floor given his excellent durability and reliability. His upside is capped since he doesn't run, but he could flash more power in a homer-friendly venue.
