Overview
- Walker crushed a 107.8 mph, 405 foot home run off right-hander Brad Lord in Wednesday’s 6-1 win at Nationals Park.
- Through 12 games, he is batting .295 with an MLB-leading five homers and 12 RBIs.
- Moved into the cleanup spot after Masyn Winn’s injury, he has posted a .294/.368/.824 line there with three homers and four RBIs.
- The surge follows two seasons with only 11 home runs across 162 games in 2024 and 2025.
- If this pace holds, analysts say St. Louis gains a true middle-order threat that could strengthen an NL Central push and a return to October.
