Welcome back to a special edition of Facility Feature Friday! Today we are very excited to showcase the personal facility of Philadelphia Phillies outfielder, Nick Castellanos!

As a fan favorite in today’s game, Castellanos is enjoying his 12th MLB season. Drafted out of high school by the Detroit Tigers in the first round of 2010 MLB Draft, Castellanos debuted in 2013 with the club. He spent the next 5.5 seasons in Detroit, playing primarily third base until transitioning into a right fielder in 2018. At the 2019 trade deadline, Castellanos was traded to the Chicago Cubs, putting up great second half numbers. That stretch helped him sign a 4-year, $64 million contract with the Cincinnati Reds before the 2020 season.

2021 saw Castellanos’ best season yet, hitting .309 with 34 home runs and 100 RBIs all while making his first all-star team and being awarded a National League Silver Slugger Award. Before the 2022 season, Castellanos opted out of his contract with the Reds and signed a 5-year, $100 million contract with the Phillies. His time with the Phillies has been well spent, as the team reached the World Series in 2022 and the NLCS in 2023. He also became an all-star for the second time in his career in 2023. Castellons has enjoyed a solid 2024 season so far, leading the National League in games played, all while his National League leading Phillies attempt to make another run for a World Series championship.

 

On Deck Sports helped Castellanos install a Fully Retractable Sports Cage with dimensions of 70' L x 22' W x 16' H. In addition, the setup comes with black Custom Wall Padding all along the inside of the facility.

This facility is unlike any standard indoor batting cage. Being 70’ long with a fully retractable cage, Castellanos is able to take hacks, practice his fielding, and do strength and conditioning in this space. That is the beauty of our Fully Retractable Sports Cage!

 

Our facility experts helped Castellanos land on our top-of-the-line #96 netting, which was the perfect fit for his space. On Deck Sports coat’s and dye’s each individual strand of netting while using UV inhibitors for extra durability.

Castellanos chose our Elite Padded Artificial Turf w/ 5mm Foam for his facility. Plus, he installed white inlaid hash marks every yard.The Elite Padded Artificial Turf is our premium artificial turf option for indoor facilities. Weighing 58 oz with a 1’ H, 15’ W, and choice of Nylon or Poly yarn, this 5mm padded turf provides the softest feel while still holding up to heavy traffic. The turf even reacts like real grass! In addition, it’s available in green, white, black, blue, and tan.

On Deck Sports offers full installation packages and shipping straight to your facility. For more information, check out our Indoor Sports Facility Design page on the website! To speak to a sales representative, fill out a facility request form or call us at 1-800-365-6171.
