The controversy was present in the game between Cincinnati Reds and St. Louis Cardinals corresponding to the day of this Wednesday, September 1 of the regular calendar of the 2021 Season of MLB. This because Cardinals manager Mike Shildt asked the match umpire to check Nick Castellanos’ bat after he hit a grand slam.
Nick Castellanos has had such a good 2021 MLB season on offense that on Wednesday’s day even his power with the tree was questioned during the game against the San Luis Cardinals.
This is because the Cincinnati Reds outfielder hit a grand slam in the bottom of the second inning and through left and center field that prompted Cardinals manager Mike Shildt to request a bat review from the umpire.
The wood splintered with the impact to the ball and although it was reviewed, the request to the umpire did not transcend and the home run with the bases loaded was legal to put the board 6 runs to 1 in favor of Reds.
Nick Castellanos has been without a doubt the most outstanding player for the Cincinnati Reds so far this 2021 MLB Season. For several weeks he was the leader in batting percentage and at the moment he is at .319 in this department.

I joined ‘Al Bat’ in September 2020, starting a new work stage in which I always seek to give my best version, in addition to leaving a significant mark on the passage of women in an industry that is managed mainly by men. Degree in Communication Sciences and Techniques from the Inter-American University for Development (UNID), I am a specialist in sports journalism, writing and editing texts, I have three years of experience covering sports, especially baseball from the Mexican Baseball League (LMB ), Liga Mexicana del Pacífico (LMP) and MLB. I was an intern at the LMB Leones de Yucatán Baseball Club, with whom I attended the 2019 Rey Series. I have done work for social networks such as the coverage of the 2019-2020 edition of the LMP Final for ‘Con Las Bases Llenas’. I am constantly updated on social media, SEO, Google positioning, writing, digital journalism, as well as the place of women in the sports industry. Originally from Mérida, Yucatán, my first approach to baseball was in a game of Lions of Yucatán, in the ‘Kukulcán Álamo’ Park, in 2015; and that changed my life completely. The ‘Melenudos’ are the team of my loves and the greatest passion I have in this sport. Although I dedicate myself to baseball most of the time, my sport, in the beginning, was (and still is) soccer. Real Madrid and Bayern Munich won my heart and fans from ‘minute one’ and I am fortunate to have already seen them play live. Clearly, I am a fan of Cristiano Ronaldo and Manuel Neuer.
