Jordan Walker Stats

St. Louis Cardinals third base prospect Jordan Walker will be given every opportunity to compete for an Opening Day spot this season. Walker, 20, has been a consensus top-10 prospect and has light tower power. With his bat clearly ready to make an impact, Walker will have his first legit chance to show why he has been so highly regarded. Despite being brought up as a third baseman, Walker will be competing for the right field job against Lars Nootbaar with Nolan Arenado securing the hot corner. In Double-A Springfield last season, Walker hit a healthy .306 with 19 dingers and 68 RBI. The 6'5 prospect remains one of the top young hitters in the league and his time could be arriving sooner than expected. Fantasy managers in all formats should be keeping an eye on Walker with his potential to be a Rookie of the Year candidate.

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman/outfield prospect Jordan Walker continued to hit for power in Monday's Arizona Fall League game with the Rafters, going 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run, and two strikeouts. He also stole third base. The 20-year-old is the team's top prospect, per MLB.com and is now batting .290 with five HR and 14 RBI in 17 games. He also had a strong 2022 season with Double-A Springfield, so it is definitely not out of the question that fantasy managers may see Walker with the Cardinals sometime in 2023.

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Jordan Walker, who checks in at 6-foot-5, is a physical specimen and offers upside in all five aspects of the game. He produces a very hard, strong swing that puts the ball in play, often with plenty of power. Equally important are his long arms, which allow him to reach his bat over the entire strike zone and then some. Walker also boasts above-average fielding and an impressive arm. He has shown that he is more than capable of playing third base and could certainly patrol the hot corner long-term, but the Cardinals have also experimented with him moving around the outfield. Walker found success at Double-A this past week, going 5-for-15 (.333) with three homers and five RBI. Considering he has spent all of 2022 (so far) with the Cardinals' affiliate in Springfield, it would not be surprising to see Walker close out the year at Triple-A.
