The St. Louis Cardinals’ offense has been inconsistent to begin the season, and one player who contributes to this boom or bust cycle of offense is Paul DeJong. Through the first 22 games of the season, DeJong leads the Cardinals in walks and strikeouts and is also tied with Yadier Molina for the team lead in home runs. This emphasis on the three true outcomes has given DeJong a slash line of .183/.301/.394/.696 which is good for a 98 wRC+. This means that despite batting below the Mendoza line, DeJong has been just a slightly below league average hitter.
