## Resource

Mike Claiborne watched Jordan Walker's Home Run Derby practice round up close at Busch, and he can't stop talking about what he saw. Mike Claiborne and Joe Roderick break down Jordan Walker's rise from struggling former top prospect to All-Star and Home Run Derby entrant, the first Cardinal in the Derby since Albert Pujols in 2022. Mike shares what Walker's batting practice power looked like in person, why he isn't worried about the Derby affecting Walker's swing, and a classic story about bullpen catcher Kleininger Teran, who's throwing to Walker, and the nerves of throwing to Pujols. Plus the full All-Star picture for St. Louis: first-time All-Stars Iván Herrera and Riley O'Brien, manager Oli Marmol on the National League staff, and where the Cardinals go from here. 🔨 Presented by Graybar https://www.graybar.com/ 🎨 Claibs is powered by Painting & Decorating Foundation https://stlouispdf.org/ 🍔 Brought to you by Mac's Downtown in Alton, IL https://macsdowntown.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.
