Episode Details

The St. Louis Cardinals are focusing on long-term growth rather than immediate wins in 2026. Five key players, including catcher Jimmy Crooks, third baseman Nolan Gorman, pitcher Andre Pallante, center fielder Victor Scott, and right fielder Jordan Walker, must demonstrate significant improvement to secure their spots on the team. Each player faces specific challenges, such as handling breaking pitches, reducing strikeouts, improving fastball location, increasing contact, and elevating the ball. Early spring training signs suggest progress, but the front office remains cautious due to previous setbacks.
