St. Louis Cardinals’ Masyn Winn Out of Top 10 Shortstops—Is It JUSTIFIED?

Masyn Winn raises the bar at shortstop, capturing a Gold Glove and setting a defensive benchmark for the St. Louis Cardinals—yet remains absent from MLB's elite top 10 list. JD Hafron explores why Win’s glove wizardry hasn’t propelled him into shortstop stardom, debates his offensive limitations, and compares his trajectory to legends like Ozzie Smith. Does Winn need a power boost, or should he focus on contact and OBP to break into the league’s upper echelon?The spotlight shifts to the Cardinals’ farm system, with top prospects JJ Wetherholt, Liam Doyle, and Rainel Rodriguez sparking optimism for St. Louis’s future. JD Hafron analyzes Keith Law’s system rankings, unpacks projections for breakout stars, and asks which rising talent excites fans most. With roster battles, lineup wishes, and a nod to upcoming Busch Stadium theme nights, get the inside track on all things Cardinals as the 2026 season approaches.Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…🎧 https://lockedonpodcasts.com/podcasts/locked-on-st-louis-cardinals/Locked On MLB League-Wide: Every Team, Prospects & More🎧 https://lockedonpodcasts.com/leagues/mlb/Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
