By: [Your Name]
While some of the St. Louis Cardinals’ top prospects have struggled since the mid-July MLB All-Star Break, a few lesser-known farm hands have been making a name for themselves. Here are the top performers from last week and some players to keep an eye on in the near future.
Matt Koperniak, Memphis Redbirds (Triple-A)
St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Matt Koperniak has been on fire this month, and his hot streak continued last week. The 27-year-old went 7-for-17 with two doubles and three home runs, driving in five and scoring four times. He currently leads the team in total bases, extra-base hits, and RBI for the month of July.
Brayden Jobert, Palm Beach Cardinals (Low-A)
Jobert, a 12th-round pick, had a standout week for the Palm Beach Cardinals. The 24-year-old outfielder collected five hits, including a double and two home runs, and drew four walks, driving in four runs and scoring six times. This surge in production could be a turning point for Jobert, who currently ranks last in average among qualified candidates on the team.
Curtis Taylor, Memphis Redbirds (Triple-A)
Taylor has quietly been putting up solid numbers for the Redbirds this season after returning to affiliated ball following a year in the Mexican League. In his last two starts, the 30-year-old right-handed pitcher has held opposing hitters scoreless in 11 2/3 innings, allowing just five hits and two walks while striking out 12. He has four quality starts on the year, a feat he hasn’t achieved since 2017.
Players to Watch For
No. 1 prospect JJ Wetherholt and No. 16 prospect Nathan Church have been tearing it up since their promotions to Triple-A in June and July, respectively. Wetherholt has a .333 batting average and .762 slugging percentage in 42 at bats, while Church boasts a .333 average and .551 slugging percentage in 147 at bats. The only problem is that there are no open spots for them in St. Louis. With the Cardinals expected to be sellers at the trade deadline, it will be interesting to see if they make any moves to open up spots for these rising stars.
