From his left-handed swing to his all-fields approach and elite plate discipline, Wetherholt stands out not only on the stat sheet, but in his swagger.

Bernie breaks down how he fits into a crowded infield alongside Donovan, Gorman, and Winn, and why the Cardinals desperately need him to be their next true “dude.” Plus, Bernie shares why Chaim Bloom may be the key to ending the drought of homegrown stars in St. Louis.
