Jordan Walker looks young again. That's not to say that the St. Louis Cardinals ' right fielder actually got old, but he did precipitously drop off from his phenom prospect status.

This season, Walker looks like that kid who had all the hype in the first place. And one number, at least to an extent, can sum it up: 97. 7 miles per hour.
