The St. Louis Cardinals Surrender to Season, Fans Demand Top Prospect JJ Wetherholt’s Debut
The St. Louis Cardinals have thrown in the towel on their season, leaving fans in a state of frustration and anger. But amidst the disappointment, there is a glimmer of hope in the form of top prospect JJ Wetherholt.
Wetherholt, who has been tearing it up in Triple-A with a .310 batting average, .403 on-base percentage, and .670 slugging percentage, has fans eagerly anticipating his call up to the big leagues. In just under 30 games, he has already hit nine home runs, a triple, and seven doubles.
According to Thomas Gauvain of Redbird Rants, the reason for Wetherholt’s absence from the major league roster is not due to lack of talent, but rather a lack of opportunity. Gauvain points out that even with key players like Nolan Arenado and Brendan Donovan on the injured list, manager Oli Marmol has been prioritizing playing time for other prospects like Masyn Winn, Nolan Gorman, and Thomas Saggese.
But with the Cardinals’ season all but over, fans are demanding that Wetherholt finally get his chance to shine in the big leagues. And with his impressive performance in Triple-A, it’s clear that he is more than ready for the call up. Will the Cardinals listen to their frustrated fan base and give Wetherholt the opportunity he deserves? Only time will tell.
