Jordan Walker had a passable June, but he did not dazzle at the dish the way fans had been conditioned to seeing in 2026. Perhaps he will erupt once more in July. The St. Louis Cardinals right fielder smacked a three-run, 396-foot home run off right-handed Atlanta Braves pitcher and fellow former first-round draft pick Hurston Waldrep , ending his 14-game streak without an extra-base hit , per Talkin' Baseball.

If the Redbirds (44-39) are going to make the playoffs for the first time since 2022, this man has to continue to set the tone.

Unfortunately, the Cardinals were unable to maintain the momentum gained by Walker's first-inning blast. The Braves roared back with five runs in the next half-inning, terrorizing Dusty May in Truist Park. No. 18 may need to notch a couple more hits in this one, otherwise St. Louis could be headed toward a fourth straight series loss. He has certainly enjoyed his share of monster games this season.

Walker entered the day with a .288 batting average, .342 on-base percentage, .509 slugging percentage and .852 OPS. Following his latest big fly, the possible All-Star now has 19 homers and 62 RBIs. He has seemingly arrived. Regardless of how the Cards finish the campaign, fans will hopefully feel incredibly excited about the 6-foot-6 right-handed batter for the years to come. He is determined to maintain this form after struggling to produce against MLB pitching in the previous two campaigns.

Jordan Walker weathered an uneven June and is now eager to pummel pitchers once again. He is off to a nice start.
