Nick Castellanos has a bright future, Miguel Cabrera – MLB News
Miguel Cabrera is convinced that prospect Nick Castellanos has a bright future in Major League Baseball. In an interview with a leading sports website, Detroit Tigers’ third baseman stated that Castellanos possesses great hitting abilities and he will have a crucial role to play for the Tigers in the upcoming years.
What Cabrera said about the striker was quite extra ordinary and it also explains why the club have been scouting and studying this fine prospect for the last few years. No Doubt, Tigers General Manager will have high hopes from Castellanos, who is expected to be Cabrera’s replacement in near future.
Cabrera’s contract run through 2015, which means Castellanos will have to wait for quite some time before he can claim a place in Tigers;’ hitting line-up. According to sources, Cabrera has been monitoring the prospect hitter for the last three years.
"Got great hands, got a very good idea of hitting," Cabrera said Wednesday after he, Castellanos and most of the position players had worked informally on the practice field two days before they join pitchers and catchers for combined drills. He's got a great feel. He's got a chance to be a very good player."
"He got me to understand that turning on that inside pitch is more of a reaction," Castellanos said. "It's more a case of trust. He's another of those guys who's not too big, or too famous, to make time for someone like me.”
In addition to his sensational hitting abilities, the right handed Cabrera is a great team mate to have. He has a very inspiring personality and that might be one of the reasons why the Tigers acquired him four years ago. Not only he has proved to be an asset on the field but his unmatched leadership skills off the field have made the work easier for the Tigers’ coaches and managers.
Castellanos will have a great chance to transform himself into one of games’ finest hitters. Training with Cabrera, he will be looking to improve his swing technique to secure a permanent spot on Tigers’ roster. His hunger to learn new tricks will be the key for him in the upcoming years. If he can stay focused, surely, he is the next super star for the Tigers.
