Cardinals' No. 1 Prospect Added to NL All-Star Futures Game Roster
Cardinals' No. 1 Prospect Added to NL All-Star Futures Game Roster originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Rosters for the 2025 MLB All-Star Futures Game were revealed by the league on Monday with the NL roster featuring St. Louis Cardinals No. 1 prospect JJ Wetherholt among 16 other Top 100 prospects. St. Louis Cardinals No. 1 prospect stands with MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred after being selected 7th overall in the 2024 MLB Draft. Kevin Jairaj-Imagn Images The 22-year-old shortstop will be the 27th member of the Springfield Cardinals organization to represent the team on the Futures Game roster. Advertisement Wetherholt has been putting on a masterclass on both sides of the ball at the Double-A level so far this year, racking up 62 hits and 41 walks while striking out 35 times - 7th least in the Texas League - in 57 games played. His .305 average and .430 on base percentage lead all qualified Texas League hitters by a considerable margin and his 1.171 walk to strikeout rate ranks third on the league leaderboard. With a second-best walk rate (16.3%) and third-best strikeout rate (13.9%), Wetherholt finds ways to get on base in nearly half of his at bats. On top of his stellar performance at the dish, Wetherholt has made a variety of highlight-reel plays at both shortstop and second base this season, proving that he's more than just a big bat for the Cardinals' front office to be excited for. The former seventh overall pick says that while he is focusing on polishing his hitting and defense, he is taking a focused approach to baserunning this season, which he has shown through his 13 stolen bases. Advertisement The Futures Game will be played at Truist Park in Atlanta on Saturday, July 12 at 4 p.m. ET, and will be broadcast on MLB Network with simulcast on and the MLB app. Related: Cardinals Farm Report: Luken Baker Turns Page After Rough Start at Memphis Related: Cardinals Leapfrog Yankees in Latest MLB Power Rankings This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 30, 2025, where it first appeared.

Cardinals' Nolan Arenado Dethrones Athletics Denzel Clarke Per MLB Announcement
Cardinals' Nolan Arenado Dethrones Athletics Denzel Clarke Per MLB Announcement originally appeared on Athlon Sports. For the first time in five weeks we have a new recipient of MLB's Electric Play of the Week presented by Chevrolet. Advertisement MLB announced on Monday that St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado has dethroned Athletics rookie centerfielder Denzel Clarke as this week's winner. Arenado claimed the honor for his bare-handed game-ending play against the Chicago Cubs on June 24. With two outs in the top of the ninth inning of an 8-7 game, and the game-tying run on third base, the Cubs' Danbsy Swanson hit a high chopper to third base. Arenado, a 10-time gold glove winner, charged the ball and made a barehanded play, throwing out Swanson at first base to preserve the crucial victory for the Cardinals. 'I didn't expect us to be winning like this, at this point,' Arenado told after the game. 'I expected us to play hard, I thought we were going to be good defensively and I thought our pitching would be fine. … Just seeing everyone one-through-nine contributing, I mean I like playing baseball like this … against the Cubs … where games matter. St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado (28) barehands a ground ball and throws out Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson (not pictured)Jeff Curry-Imagn Images 'As you get older, that's what you want. You don't want to play games just to play games. Individually, I've accomplished some things in this game and I want to accomplish something team-oriented and special and win a World Series. Games like this, it's easy to wake up for. This is the most excited [that] I've come to the ballpark for – this series – in about two years.' Advertisement Arenado's Electric Play of the Week win breaks the record streak set by Clarke, who won four weeks in a row. It's also the second win for Arenado in his career, and first by a Cardinals player since Jordan Walker took home the award on July 17, 2023. Alec Burleson's amazing diving catch against the netting in the same game also received votes.
