He’s widely credited with helping Judge refine his swing and approach—contributions that many believe played a key role in Judge's rise to elite superstardom.

Schenck trains hitters at his facility in St. Charles, and Judge regularly travels to the area specifically to work with him.

Now, I’ll preface this by saying I have no idea whether Jordan Walker has ever trained with Schenck or sought his advice. But if he hasn’t, it might be worth considering. Walker and Judge are similar in size, both bat right-handed, and both possess elite bat speed and exit velocity. It certainly wouldn’t hurt to see what Schenck might be able to do for him.

But does he coach the “Cardinals Way”?

He is full of [shirt], and the only good stuff he has, he stole from others. BTW, Judge has been asked about Schenck, and he does give him some credit. Judge was also asked about the hitting coaches in the Yankees organization who work with him every day, and he gives them a lot of credit. Personally, if Schenck told me he was drowning, I wouldn't lend a hand. Apologies to Phil Collins. Dave Mantranga introduced Schenck to Judge. Mantranga was a student of Schencks who was out of MLB in 2 years using the same stuff.
