Hes crushed a three-run homer on an outside changeup, and ripped a double on an inside sinker, both at over 100 mph. Manager Oliver Marmol is thrilled, noting Walkers improvement from chasing pitches to adjusting on the fly.

This is Walkers best opening in years, with three extra-base hits in a series for the first time since late 2023. Hes leading the Cardinals charge early in the season, with a clear head to stay locked in all season.
