Jordan Walker is putting up power numbers he has never reached at any point in his MLB career, and the data says this might be the real thing. Plus, the Blues' playoff path just got a whole lot more complicated.
Randy Karraker breaks down Walker's incredible early-season surge, including a .682 slugging percentage, a 26.7% barrel rate, and Statcast expected stats that place him in the top 1% of the league.
But there's still one pitch sequence that keeps burning him. Then, the show shifts to a full Blues scoreboard-watching breakdown for the next eight days, mapping out exactly what St. Louis needs from the Predators, Kings, and Sharks to keep their postseason alive. Tonight's Jets vs. Blues matchup could define the rest of the season.
