Louis Cardinals might be the biggest surprise this season, with the 21-15 record one of the more impressive feats of the early part of the season so far. One of the catalysts for such a hot start this season in St. Louis is Jordan Walker, the 23-year-old slugger who is finally breaking out after some rough seasons the last few years.

Bleacher Report's Kerry Miller predicted that Walker will not just be an All-Star, which is a bold prediction on its own, but that Walker will be a starter for the NL All-Star team this year alongside Mickey Moniak of the Colorado Rockies . "Jordan Walker and Mickey Moniak will both start in the All-Star game," Miller writes. Those two have been great this season, so why is this Miller's hottest take?

Well, unfortunately for Walker, there are a few hurdles he'd need to clear to get this honor, and both combine to make a nearly impossible situation for Walker to earn a starting spot for the All-Star Game. Jordan Walker has near-impossible odds to be named as All-Star starter Walker is having a great season. His defense is great, and he's running the bases well with seven steals this year.
