Whether you want to grind for him for free or pick him up instantly, this guide outlines the exact methods to add this powerful right fielder to your squad.
Method 1: The Free Grind (Moonshot II Event Program)
The primary and most cost-effective method to obtain Nick Castellanos is by playing the concurrent Moonshot II Event.
- The Requirement: Earn 50 Stars within the Moonshot II Event Program.
- The Gameplay: Moonshot events are heavily focused on offense, making it easy to hit home runs and rack up stats quickly against common pitchers.
Fast Track Strategy

This ensures he gets the maximum number of at-bats per game, allowing you to quickly accumulate the 1,000 PXP needed for broader June program missions.
Method 2: The Community Marketplace (Instant Buy)
If you prefer to bypass the multiplayer grind entirely, you can purchase Castellanos directly from other players.
