Nick Castellanos Steps Back as Coach | MLB News

Nick Castellanos, once a star with the Padres and a two-time All-Star, is stepping away from the batter’s box for now—coaching at the Prep Baseball All-American Game in September.

Though his MLB comeback this season seems unlikely, his clubhouse popularity and past accolades—including a Silver Slugger—suggest his legacy isn’t over. At 34, he’s keeping busy, focused on the next generation, while fans wonder if a minor league return might still be in his future.
