ANALYSIS: #CardinalsDevilMagic strikes again. Though St. Louis is currently under .500 and a long shot to make the postseason, they're enjoying yet another great performance from an unheralded farmhand. DeJong has emerged to take the place of last year's model, Aledmys Diaz. He's hitting .290/.310/.575 with 14 home runs in just 193 plate appearances.
While the average is unlikely to persist and the plate approach leaves something to be desired - peep that 0.07 BB/K - DeJong's pop seems mostly legitimate. He hit 22 homers at Double-A last season, then another 13 at Triple-A before being called up this year. The 23-year-old is a flyball hitter with good bat speed and path. As long as he continues to not embarrass himself with the glove, he should keep drawing starts every day at shortstop.
