Dylan Carlson's swing is this fluid swoop, thanks to his fast hands that launch and mangle, and to think — it comes in lefty, too!
This switch-hitting delight is the Cardinals' most-exciting offensive prospect — perhaps enticing is a better word than exciting — and for a team that was ninth-worst in baseball in OPS (on-base plus slugging percentage), the Cards will take all the “O” or the “S” they can get.
Carlson will surely make his major-league debut in 2020, but which month? A lot will depend on whether left fielder Marcell Ozuna accepts the Cards' probable qualifying offer.
