St. Louis Cardinals MLBbro Big Three Back Together: Sky Walker, Masyn Winn and VS2 Reunite For Wild Card Run

The Three Amigos, The MLBbro Big Three, The St. Louis Soul Patrol – whatever you want to call them. Masyn Winn, Jordan Walker and Victor Scott II are back in the bigs together, hoping to push St. Louis to a NL Wild Card berth. 

 

Jordan “Sky” Waker Called Up

 

MLBbro Jordan “Sky” Walker was recently recalled by Da Lou with infielder Matt Carpenter being placed on the 10-day injured list with a lower-back strain. 

 

When Walker began his St. Louis Cardinals career in 2023, he did it emphatically by matching the longest hit streak to begin an MLB career. Walker’s 12-game hitting streak tied a record held by Eddie Murphy, a player who began his career in 1912 with the Philadelphia Athletics. 

 

Walker, just 22 years of age, had an exciting rookie season, batting .276 with 15 homers and 51 RBI, 113 OPS+ in 117 games). The phenom also added seven bases and slugged .445. His numbers would have been more impressive, and he could have given Corbin Carroll some better run for NL rookie of the Year award if the Cardinals didn’t send him down the first time, shortly after his rookie hit streak.

 

Masyn Winn, Jordan Walker and Victor Scott II Are Back Together In Bigs

 

The St. Louis Cardinals were a must-see on Opening Day as they started three young and rising MLBbros in Victor Scott, Jordan Walker and shortstop Masyn Winn started in the lineup.

Scott didn’t last long and was sent down to the minors in April. Walker got off to an horrendous start with 9 hits in 58 at-bats (.155) and 0 homers and he was sent down after 20 games.

 

That was undoubtedly a shocker to most, including his longtime friend Masyn Winn, who looked forward to road trips and sharing the MLB experience with Walker. While Walker had to humble himself and re-tool in the minors, Winn has ascended to one of the rising stars of the game.

 

The 22-year-old shortstop is batting .279 with 9 homers and 41 RBI and 10 steals. He’s also playing a dynamic shortstop and giving Cardinals fans great hope for the future. He’s living Walker’s 2023 season, without the organizational pressures of a position change and expectations of power.

 

Jordan Walker Makes Adjustments At The Plate 

 

Walker wasn’t showing the “progression” the Cardinals were looking for so he remained in the minor leagues longer than we all hoped or expected.

 

According to reports, Walker is now starting out with a more open stance at the plate, a tweak that not only affords better vision and pitch-tracking, at least theoretically, but also forces Walker to “coil” more during his load phase and better tap into his substantial physical strength. While the sample size is quite small, the results coinciding with those changes have been impressive.

 

Walker is a great talent and his recent assault on minor league pitching in Memphis was enough for the Cardinals – who are 1.5 games behind the Atlanta Braves for a Wild Card slot and in the bottom of the league in homers and RBI –to call Walker up for the stretch run.

 

Cardinals Want Jordan Walker To Hit More Homers

 

Hitting the major leagues at age 21 isn’t easy and Walker looked pretty good at it despite lacking some mechanics that would eliminate his groundballs and increase elevation.

 

To put it simply, the Cardinals want him to hit more bro bombs and understandably so. He’s 6-foot-5 and has the potential to be a prolific slugger. He’s shown enough of that lately for Cardinals’ brass to bring Jordan “Sky” Walker back home to St. Louis, where he belongs.

 

Now the real fun can begin.

 

Victor Scott Showing A Liver Bat This Time Around

 

VS2 was recently called back up and he’s not wasting his opportunity, hitting his first career homer – a game-tying, two-run shot – and in another game, drilling a line-drive double down the right field line that gave the Cardinals a 6-5 lead in the 8th inning of a huge game against Kansas City.

 

 

As the Cardinals try to steal a Wild Card slot from the Braves and NY Mets, St. Louis’ MLBbro Big Three is back together again and might turn lemons to lemonade together in 2024. Who would of thunk it?
