Nick Castellanos, baseball hero, hit a homer and then snagged a foul ball in the dugout

Nick Castellanos is off to quite the start this season. Entering Tuesday's game against the Nationals, the third baseman was hitting .380 with six homers, 26 RBIs and a 1.017 OPS. That's really good. That's grounds for changing his name to Nick CastellaYES.
Anyway, in the fourth inning against Joe Ross, Castellanos struck again -- hitting a two-run home run over the left-field fence:

And then, barely finished hanging up his helmet and high-fiving his teammates, the next batter Justin Upton fouled off a pitch in his direction. Castellanos, because he can do no wrong these days, casually snagged the high-hopper like he'd been waiting for it his entire life:

This game's just too easy.
