The Cardinals are defying odds this season, fueled by breakout rookies JJ Weatherholt and Jordan Walker—Walker’s 27 homers and 96 RBIs have him in Rookie of the Year contention after a midseason slump. With an OPS of .856 and a .289 average, he’s poised to hit 30 homers and drive in 100 runs if healthy through September. Alongside Weatherholt, Burlson, and newly called-up Baez, this young core shows serious offensive firepower. While they’re currently 4.5 games out of a wild card spot this year, next season could be their true breakout—with a foundation built for contention from day one.
