J.J. Wetherholt Logs Back-to-Back Multi-Hit Games to Start Week
J.J. Wetherholt went 2-for-4 on Wednesday for Double-A Springfield. This follows a three-hit game on Tuesday, which included a triple and two runs scored. The left-handed slugger came into the week hitting .208 (5-for-24) over his previous eight contests, but he still registered a .457 OBP thanks to 11 walks that he tallied during that stretch. The Cardinals' top-ranked prospect is performing well in his first run through Double-A, slashing .293/.406/.436 with three home runs, seven steals, and a 25:22 BB:K. The 2024 seventh-overall draft pick should be in the mix for a promotion to Triple-A in the coming weeks and could still make a late-season cameo in the majors. He offers solid all-around hit, power, and run tools, and could be an impact fantasy player as early as next season, so dynasty and redraft managers alike should be keeping an eye on him.
