Jordan Walker homers in Cardinals' loss to Mariners
by Chris Schommer | Cardinals Correspondent | Sat, Sep 7th 6:54am EDT
Jordan Walker went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in the Cardinals' 6-1 defeat to the Mariners.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance, while a bright spot, underscores Walker's challenging rookie season, where he's batting just .181 through 30 games. His power potential is evident with two home runs and a .234 BABIP suggesting some bad luck on balls in play, but his high strikeout rate of 28.9% and low walk rate of 6.7% are areas needing improvement. Fantasy managers should view Walker as a high-risk, high-reward option, potentially valuable in deeper leagues for his power upside but likely to be a drain on batting average unless he makes significant adjustments at the plate.
