Watch: Castellanos Robs Houston Astros Star Bregman of Home Run

Philadelphia Phillies right fielder Nick Castellanos just made one of the most amazing catches of his career when he robbed Alex Bregman of the Houston Astros of a home run.

The 2022 World Series rematch between the Philadelphia Phillies and Houston Astros promised to be exciting. It's why it's on national television twice in the three game series. 

The fun got started in the bottom of the first inning when Phillies right fielder Nick Castellanos made a highlight reel catch. 

With two outs in the bottom of the third, Astros third baseman Alex Bregman put a great swing on a pitch from Aaron Nola. It sailed into right field, past the warning track and into the hands of Castellanos. 

The Phillies right fielder isn't usually known for Gold Glove defense so to see a play of that magnitude is incredibly encouraging. 

 Take a look at what will surely make Sports Center's Top-10 reel in the morning.

After Friday's game, the two teams will face each other twice more this weekend, with Sunday's game being nationally televised on ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball.
