While the St. Louis Cardinals have generally not fared well in the minor leagues this season, there have been some prospect breakouts. Alec Burleson has risen from High-A to Triple-A after being selected 70th overall in the 2020 MLB Draft. Juan Yepez has broken out at the plate and crushed both Double-A and Triple-A pitching. Former first round pick Nick Plummer has bounced back from a disappointing minor league career to post a 148 wRC+ in Double-A. Finally, Luken Baker has found his power stroke in Double-A with 21 home runs in 321 plate appearances.
