Summary
The St. Louis Cardinals are defying all expectations this season, sitting third in the NL Central with a 32-28 record despite being written off as a rebuilding team. With the 13th overall pick in the upcoming draft, they’re eyeing Arkansas catcher Ryder Helfrick — widely regarded as the top defensive catcher in this year’s class and showing explosive hitting improvement, including an .979 OPS and 18 homers in spring. Scouts are even comparing his trajectory to Shea Langeliers. Helfrick could be gone before St. Louis picks, but if he’s still available, he’s a high-impact, dependable target who could reshape their roster.
