In today's video, I begin a series that will look at individual St. Louis Cardinals that will have enormous influence -- whether good or bad -- on STL's 2025 offense. And the performances of these hitters -- good or bad -- will shape their future.

With a new front-office regime moving in, taking over next offseason, some decisions will be made based on 2025's showing. Is the hitter a keeper? Do the Cardinals want to move forward with him? Or is he expendable and someone that the team should trade? A lot is on the line.

1st video: Jordan Walker. Which Way Will He Go in 2025?

And I will follow-up with similar videos on Nolan Gorman, Lars Nootbaar, Alec Burleson and Brendan Donovan ... and shorter videos that look at Ivan Herrera, and Michael Siani.
