Wetherholt Joins Cardinals’ Elite Rookie Club

Rookie second baseman JJ Wetherholt is rewriting Cardinals history with explosive performances, including a two-homer game against the Royals — making him only the third rookie in franchise history to hit two multi-homer games before July, joining legends Albert Pujols and Ken Boyer. With a .260 batting average, 12 homers, and 34 RBIs, Wetherholt’s early-season surge mirrors Pujols’ historic rookie year and is fueling a surprisingly strong Cardinals team currently contending for a wild-card spot. His breakout is electrifying fans now — not just for the future. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
