The St. Louis Cardinals will give prospect Jordan Walker, 21, more time to develop.
The Cardinals announced on the 27th (Korean time) that they were sending Walker down to Triple-A Memphis.
Walker, a player selected in the first round of the 2020 draft, is the club’s best prospect, ranking fourth in the 2023 preseason league prospect rankings selected by’MLB.com’.
Last season, he played in 119 Double A games and recorded a batting average of 0.306, on-base percentage, 0.388 slugging percentage, 0.510, 19 homers and 68 RBIs, and was included in the opening roster this season and stepped on the big league stage.
In 20 games, he recorded a batting average of 0.274 (20 hits in 73 at-bats), 2 homers, 11 RBIs, 3 walks, and 20 strikeouts, but was sent down to Triple A.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that Walker has seen a decline in plate appearances over the past two weeks, with ground balls hitting more. 크크크벳
In fact, he was on the rise in the early days, setting a record for hitting in 12 consecutive games since the opening, but experienced a slump after the record was stopped. He has been sluggish with a batting average of 0.192 (5 hits in 26 at-bats) in 8 games since the end of his hitting streak.
Taylor Motors was called up instead. After recording 4 hits in 18 at-bats in 7 games this season, he went through a waiver and became a minor league player. He signed a major league contract with the Cardinals again and joined the 26-man roster.
I have experience playing for Kiwoom Heroes in the KBO League in 2020. At the time, he was released after experiencing extreme sluggishness with 4 hits in 35 at-bats (0.114 batting average) in 10 games.
Since then, he has been getting opportunities in Colorado (2021) Boston (2021) and Cincinnati (2022), but he has not been able to play many games. I took another chance this time.
