Cardinals Call Up Young Catcher Bernal | St. Louis Cardinals News

Twenty-two-year-old catching prospect Leo Bernal is set to make his MLB debut with the Cardinals, a move aimed at solving their struggling catching unit. After slashing 16 homers, 19 doubles, and driving in 77 runs over 101 games in Triple-A, Bernal brings elite defensive skills — including a past Gold Glove — to a position that’s ranked dead last in NL RBI and bottom-half defensively. Though his path has been uneven, his overall performance convinced management he’s ready for the big leagues. This promotion also signals the Cardinals’ youth movement, as Bernal joins a roster full of rookies with the third-most playing time in franchise history. With the official announcement expected soon, fans are eager to see if Bernal can deliver immediate impact in a crowded catching corps.
