Players to Watch: St. Louis Cardinals vs. Arizona Diamondbacks
St. Louis Cardinals
Jordan Walker — RF. Walker is hitting .294 with 22 home runs and 74 RBIs, making him the Cardinals’ primary power threat in the middle of the order. His .354 on-base percentage and .532 slugging mark both rank among the best on the roster, giving St. Louis added thump from the corner outfield spot.
Alec Burleson — 1B. A steady complement to Walker in the order, Burleson is batting .273 with 15 home runs and 67 RBIs. He’s reaching base at a .337 clip and slugging .468, numbers that make him one of the more consistent bats in the St. Louis lineup.
Masyn Winn — SS. From the shortstop spot, Winn brings a different look to the Cardinals’ attack, hitting .243 with 38 RBIs and seven stolen bases. His .314 on-base percentage keeps him near the top of the order as a table-setter rather than a power source.
Arizona Diamondbacks
Corbin Carroll — RF. Carroll pairs speed and power at .252 with 13 home runs, 45 RBIs and 10 stolen bases, the rare blend that can beat a defense multiple ways. His .347 on-base percentage tops Ildemaro Vargas’ .302, the highest mark among the Diamondbacks hitters featured tonight.
Ketel Marte — 2B. At the top of Arizona’s power numbers is Marte, who leads the lineup with 17 home runs and 54 RBIs, four more homers than Carroll’s 13. He pairs that pop with a .256 average, giving the Diamondbacks a middle-of-the-order bat behind Carroll’s table-setting.
Ildemaro Vargas — 1B. Rounding out the Arizona attack is Vargas, who is hitting .258 with a .302 on-base percentage and a .394 slugging mark. His steady presence at the plate gives the Diamondbacks reliable contact from the infield corners alongside the power bats above him.
