Nick Castellanos Should Hit a Lot More Homers at Wrigley

New Cubs outfielder Nicholas Castellanos only has 11 home runs this season, but that total could double over the remainder of his time in Chicago. The right-handed hitter has a reputation as an abuser of left-handed pitching, but he’s also a doubles machine who has hit exactly twice as many two-baggers (208) as homers (104) in his career.

That former total includes an MLB-leading 37 doubles, many of which have been hit into the spacious alleys at Comerica Park. Interestingly enough, he’s actually hit more on the road this year and the splits are nearly even overall (105 home, 103 road), but Wrigley is a different animal.
