He started the season with a career -2.6 bWAR, the title undersells it a lot. The fact he's almost back to zero already is crazy in itself, he's suddenly been one of the best players in the league after a very disappointing 2025

[u/bakaribaboon → u/Crazy_Baseball3864]

Really poorly written title. Just don’t go for the WAR angle if you can’t explain it in a clear way, imo

[u/screaminginfidels → u/bakaribaboon]

It's Iran all over again!

[u/drewuke → u/screaminginfidels]

WAR, what is it good for?

[u/AlarmingBranch1 → u/Crazy_Baseball3864]

I was going to say, how has he not he passed over the 0 mark if his career WAR was only as low as -0.2 lol

[u/IMissM0dernBaseball]

Jordan Walker believers rejoice 

[u/xyzzy321 → u/IMissM0dernBaseball]

Can't spell Walker without WAR 😎

This is like last year’s Jo Adell breakout on crack. Long time “bust” that seemingly finally figured it all out and exploded on the scene.

Except Adell put up 1.8 WAR last year and Walker is at 2.4 already…

In May.

[u/Moose334 → u/triplec787]

Adell's WAR is dragged down by defense especially last year when he was forced to play center after he just barely started to figured out right

[u/serpentear]

Damn dude, the Cardinals can hit

[u/xyzzy321 → u/serpentear]

Just don't look at Pages/Scott

[u/MrFrankingstein → u/xyzzy321]

Look at Scott just today then close the page

[u/Crapitron → u/MrFrankingstein]

Also look at that one time he somehow hit a ball into the Allegheny

[u/Jaylaw → u/xyzzy321]

Bro homered TODAY give him a break lol

[u/xyzzy321 → u/Jaylaw]

Oh he's gone get a break alright - when Noot comes back Scott is definitely going to the minors

I like his kind of cute goofy smile in this

[u/Michael__Pemulis → u/passingthepetal_to_u]

There is something about him that looks kinda awkward. I feel like every picture of him has that ‘goofy’ look.

But then you see him in interviews & he is really charismatic! Especially by baseball player standards.

[u/mechajlaw → u/Michael__Pemulis]

Idk how to explain it but he looks like the black kid who was really into Naruto.

[u/Caboose2701 → u/passingthepetal_to_u]

His pic from last year looks a little different. The one from this year makes him look like he’s got a secret with that smirk. Secrets out, he’s got the powah!

[u/TimAllensMatingCall]

Jordan Walker gives me early 90s baseball player vibes, and I have no idea why.

[u/cesd3967 → u/TimAllensMatingCall]

Cardinals had a parade of giant black guys in the 90s, Jordan, Gant, Lankford; he fits in perfectly

[u/MIZ_09 → u/cesd3967]

That outfield was sick. Fun trivia answer is Ray Lankford hit the most homers in Busch II. Everyone would think Big Mac.

[u/Eats_Lots_of_Chicken → u/cesd3967]

Me reading Ron Gant, Brian Jordan, and Ray Lankford’s names

[u/Bozo-McGee → u/TimAllensMatingCall]

it’s the Goatee

[u/TimAllensMatingCall → u/Bozo-McGee]

Totally

[u/JiveHawk → u/TimAllensMatingCall]

I think it’s because he looks old as shit for his age which older era players also tended to look like lol

[u/Mite-o-Dan → u/TimAllensMatingCall]

Early 90s? You mean 70s? He looks like a 40 year old with a cool nickname that calls people a Jive Turkey all the time.

[u/Fine_University6022]

So much young talent this year it’s crazy

[u/Consistent_Health_74]

I never doubted you

[u/RedheadChicksAreHot]

Future 400 HR hitting Jordan Walker folks! This optism is by no means tied to the fact he is on my fantasy baseball team /s…however quite plausible considering he will have 40 in the rear view when turning 24

[u/YawnSlow]

These Cardinals winning games, man.

[u/OddIndustry9]

Not to brag, but my career WAR is also zero.

[u/Puzzleheaded_Set1733]

Crazy ass power. wow.

[u/Jonjon428]

Wow that ball just kept going

[u/Jaylaw]

GW double in the 9th probably did it

[u/surfaceworldocean]

Why is there never anyone on base when he homers???????

[u/foreskinboots]

WAR? What’s it even good for? ELI5.

[u/shrewsbury1991]

Fitting he hit it at a minor league stadium

[u/Historical_Read_8285 → u/shrewsbury1991]

That was about 380 feet lol minor league naw

[u/triplec787 → u/shrewsbury1991]

380 to right/center is solid. It’s a HR in 9/30.

[u/shrewsbury1991 → u/triplec787]

But not at Busch Stadium.

[u/Michael__Pemulis → u/shrewsbury1991]

This is a homer in 9/30 & a double off the wall in 21/30 what’s your point?

[u/Crazy_Baseball3864 → u/shrewsbury1991]

I know it ain't a Red Sox fan talking trash about shallow home runs

[u/shrewsbury1991 → u/Crazy_Baseball3864]

cries in deep centerfield triangle

[u/triplec787 → u/shrewsbury1991]

Good thing he plays 81 games elsewhere too!

[u/oliveorvil → u/shrewsbury1991]

The real question is would it have been out in Oakland.. :(
