Jordan Walker, a 23-year-old player who initially struggled at the start of his career, is now blossoming in Year 4 with a 1.083 OPS and eight homers in 18 games. The Cardinals' chief baseball officer, Chaim Bloom, believes patience is necessary for building a winner out of a player like Walker, who is still just 23 years old. He emphasized the need for a revamped swing for Walker, which has allowed him to become more efficient. The team's success has echoed the Cardinals' own trajectory, which have missed the playoffs in three seasons and have a long-term project that Bloom outlines.
