## Resource

Jimmy Crooks is back in the majors after a breakout Triple-A season, proving he’s finally hitting his stride — and listening. Last year’s limited MLB exposure exposed flaws, but Crooks took feedback seriously, focusing on reducing swings at bad pitches while still crushing homers. His May OPS of .980? A clear sign he’s executing. Cardinals brass, including Chaim Bloom, are thrilled — not just because he’s performing, but because he’s actively working on the exact things they asked him to fix. This isn’t luck — it’s disciplined growth. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
