St. Louis Cardinals Turn to Young Talent Amidst Four-Game Losing Streak
The St. Louis Cardinals are facing a tough stretch, currently on a four-game losing streak as they wrap up MLB Players’ Weekend. But they’re not giving up just yet.
After being labeled as potential sellers at the MLB trade deadline, the Cardinals have shifted their focus to giving opportunities to their younger prospects. With a 4.5 game deficit behind the New York Mets for the final spot in the NL Wild Card, the Cardinals are determined to make a comeback.
And they’re not alone in their efforts. On Sunday, they will call upon Miles Mikolas to take on Will Warren in hopes of breaking their losing streak. But they will also have a new face in the lineup – their No. 14 prospect, Nathan Church, who will be making his MLB debut and batting ninth.
According to MLB.com’s John Denton, the news was announced on Sunday: “When (Victor) Scott was placed on the 10-day injured list on Sunday, the Cardinals promoted Triple-A outfielder Nathan Church (the club’s No. 14 prospect) for his MLB debut.”
Church, 25, is a speedy left-handed batter with the ability to play all over the outfield and steal bases. Drafted in the 11th round of the 2022 MLB Draft, Church has quickly risen through the ranks from Single-A to the major leagues this season.
In 86 games in the minors this year, Church has been a consistent force at the plate. His impressive .329 batting average, .386 on-base percentage, .524 slugging percentage, and .910 OPS, along with 13 home runs, 50 RBI, and 16 stolen bases, caught the attention of the Cardinals and earned him a spot on the roster for their game against the Yankees on Sunday.
