Let's start off the 2K18 series with a player who's performance spiked in 2017. Castellanos finished the season hitting an impressive .272 with 26 HRs and 101 RBIs, and as mentioned in another thread he led the AL in triples. He did hit much better vs. LHPs than RHPs, however. He also improved his K% rate from around the 25% rate to 21%.
While those were the positives, the Tigers moved him from 3B to RF, but that didn't help his fielding woes. According to MLB Trade Rumors, he had a -7 defensive runs saves and a "catastrophic" -80.5 UZR (per 150 games).
Despite his fielding, I like Castellanos to continue his hitting prowess in 2018.
