Let's hope Law is right.
So, we have the #2 rated prospect from his draft board.
Now we have the #3 rated prospect in all of Milb.
Fantastic.
We have JJ, Bernal, Doyle, Winn, Hererra, Burleson, Donovan, Mathews and maybe some others appear.
It's a start guys.
The buzz surrounding Wetherholt couldn't be any higher right now amongst Cardinals fans, as the 2024 first-round pick was recently promoted to Triple-A and just mashed two home runs last night to raise his slash line at Memphis to .379/.455/.966 (1.421 OPS) in his first 29 at-bats at the highest minor league level. Across both Double-A and Triple-A this year, Wetherholt is slashing .310/.429/.524 with 11 home runs and 29 XBH total to go along with 48 walks and just 45 strikeouts in 70 games.
Law just revealed his new top 60 prospects in the sport, and Wetherholt checked in as the third-best prospect in the sport behind Detroit Tigers' prospects Kevin McGonigle and Max Clark.
For context, outside of Wetherholt, the only Cardinals prospects to even sniff or achieve a top three ranking in the game are guys like J.D. Drew, Oscar Taveras, Alex Reyes, and Jordan Walker.
JJ Wetherholt is seen as one of the very best prospects in all of baseball and is knocking on the door of his big league debut
Law appeared on 101 ESPN's midday show "BK and Ferrario" recently and shared that he sees Wetherholt as a future superstar due to his elite hit tool and ability to do damage to all fields. Wetherholt was supposed to be the number one overall pick in last year's draft, but slipped to number seven overall due to concerns about a hamstring injury during his final year at West Virginia.
Keith Law loves hims some Cardinals: He now claims JJ Wetherholt is #3 prospect and Liam Doyle was his #2 in draft.

Nice, I have been wondering about where he is going to fall on a lot of these end of the year, beginning of next year prospect lists. I think he's top 20 or so in a lot of them right now, so I got to think he's going to be top 10 or top 5 coming up.
