Leonardo Bernal Emerging as a Must-Watch Catching Prospect
St. Louis Cardinals catching prospect Leonardo Bernal is quietly breaking out at Double-A Springfield. The 21-year-old switch-hitter is slashing .282/.356/.468 with 11 homers, 13 doubles, and 10 steals, showing rare power-speed upside behind the plate. Even more impressive, Bernal has cut his strikeout rate to 15.2%, significantly improving from last season's 22%. His athleticism and plate discipline make him one of the more intriguing catching prospects in the minors. With St. Louis thin on long-term catching depth, Bernal could rise quickly. Dynasty managers in deeper formats should take notice as Bernal's bat and profile are trending up fast.
