Cardinals: OF Jordan Walker

But after producing a 68 OPS+ and a 30.7% strikeout rate over his past two seasons (574 plate appearances), there is some pressure on the Cards’ former No. 1 prospect to implement his offseason work -- including changes to his swing and setup in the batter’s box -- and show that he can be the feared slugger that this lineup sorely lacks.
