The start to the season could not feel much better for the St. Louis Cardinals , and it is hard to ignore who is right in the middle of it. JJ Wetherholt has played exactly two major league games.
He already has a home run and a walk-off hit. That is not just a hot start. That is the kind of opening that gets people paying attention quickly.
One game after hitting a home run in his MLB debut, Wetherholt delivered a two-run walk-off single in the 10th inning to beat the Tampa Bay Rays 6-5. It pushed the Cardinals to a 2-0 start and gave Busch Stadium its first real moment of the season. THAT'S A WINNER!!!
