Players To Watch

As the Cardinals prepare to host the Blue Jays at Busch Stadium, all eyes will be on Nolan Arenado, the third baseman who has been a standout performer for the Redbirds. In their recent games against the Dodgers and Royals, Arenado showcased his prowess with an impressive batting average of .750 in one game and a perfect 1.000 in another. His slugging percentage has been equally remarkable, reaching as high as 1.75 in one outing. With such consistency at the plate, Arenado is expected to be a key player in setting the tone for the Cardinals early on.
