ST. LOUIS, Mo. (First Alert 4) - Jordan Walker is heading to his first All-Star Game.
The 24-year-old Cardinals right fielder was selected by Major League Baseball as the first Cardinal chosen to represent St. Louis in this year’s Midsummer Classic.
Walker has put together a breakout season that has helped keep the Cardinals in the National League playoff race. He ranks among the Major League leaders in RBI and has already set career highs in both home runs and RBI before the All-Star break.
With at least 20 home runs and 10 stolen bases before the break, Walker joins Albert Pujols as the only players in Cardinals history to reach those marks before the All-Star Game.
Walker arrived in St. Louis carrying expectations as one of baseball’s top prospects. After three seasons that included adversity, he is no longer being discussed for his potential — he is being recognized for his production.
