ST. LOUIS, Mo. (Matrix Midwest) - Memphis Redbirds infielder Blaze Jordan has been named a St. Louis Cardinals Minor League Co-Player of the Month.
Jordan slashed .276/.323/.517 with six doubles, five home runs, and 13 RBI across 22 games in April.
Among all Cardinals minor league batters, he ranked second in hits with 24 and total bases (45).
His 11 extra-base hits and five home runs landed him third among all Cardinals minor league batters.
“Blaze has really taken a step forward this season by simplifying his approach and committing to the middle of the field, and we are seeing that translate directly into his performance,” said Cardinals Director of Player Development Larry Day. “He’s staying in the zone longer, making better swing decisions, and the contact quality has been outstanding. What’s been most impressive is how his more compact, controlled swing has unlocked his power naturally. On top of that, he’s a tremendous teammate and person, so it’s great to see the performance results match the work that he and hitting coach Howie Clark put in every day.”

Jordan had nine multi-hit games in April, including a multi-homer game on April 2 vs. Norfolk.
Peoria Chiefs starting pitcher Yhoiker Farjardo and Palm Beach Cardinals infielder Jack Gurevitch were the other Cardinals Minor League Co-Players of the Month.
