JJ Wetherholt Launches First Pro Home Run At Single-A
4 months agoSt. Louis Cardinals shortstop prospect JJ Wetherholt hit his first professional home run on Wednesday in his sixth game with Single-A Palm Beach. The 21-year-old was the first-round pick of the Cardinals in this year's draft out of West Virginia. He has started 5-for-20 with five runs scored in his first seven contests with Palm Beach after Wednesday's doubleheader. Wetherholt went No. 7 overall to St. Louis but was considered the fourth-best prospect in the draft by MLB Pipeline. He has a big future ahead of him and at 21 years old, he should advance quickly through the minors.
