In 30 games as a Chicago Cub, Nicholas Castellanos is hitting .339/.374/.685 (42-for-124) with 10 doubles and 11 home runs.
Friday against the Brewers, he hit this home run, his second of the game [VIDEO].
Which resulted in this:

In collaboration with Breaking T, we at BCB are celebrating that moment with this “Big Stick Nick” T-shirt:

Castellanos has provided just the boost the Cubs offense needed. He led the National League in hits (40) and extra-base hits (20) in August and has set a career high in doubles (47, 37 with the Tigers, 10 with the Cubs). He needs just five more home runs for a career high there, and has posted 1.3 bWAR for the Cubs in just those 30 games.
Here’s the link for you to order your own “Big Stick Nick” T-shirt.
Hopefully, Castellanos will give the Cubs even more offense in the 25 games remaining this season.
