Cardinals’ Season in Numbers | St. Louis Cardinals News

The Cardinals’ five-game losing streak has dashed playoff dreams, but the season wasn’t all doom and gloom—Walker’s comeback, Wetherholt’s star rise, and a surprisingly strong rotation kept hope alive. Now, it’s time to cut through the hype and see how each position stacks up against preseason projections: Herrera’s shaky defense at catcher, Burleson’s solid first base, Wetherholt’s breakout at second, Winn’s injury recovery at shortstop, and a glaring third base void. Left field may have Baez as a long-term fix, but center field’s been a disaster, and the DH spot hasn’t delivered. The rotation’s been elite, but the bullpen’s leaks have cost dearly—classic baseball trade-offs where every win might come with a loss elsewhere.
