Herrera's Hot Streak Boosts Cardinals

0:00On April 27th, Ivan Herrera is turning heads for the St. Louis Cardinals, finally shaking off a slow start to the season. Back on April 15th, he was hitting just 194, but now after 27 games, that average is up to 240. He's got 4 home runs, 5 doubles, 13 RBI's, and 19 walks, slashing 240, 403, 417. He's on a 9 game hitch streak, banging out 3 of those 4 homers since mid-April. That stretch alone boosts at his average by 46 points, and he's drawing walks like crazy, showing real-play discipline. Fans remember how hot he was early last year. After 27 games in 2025, Herrera slashed 333, 421, 5. 78, with 5 homers and 26 RBI's. This year lags behind that, but the signs point to a breakout. The Cardinals are mired in a 4 game skid right now, struggling to find their groove. Still, if Herrera keeps this version of himself showing up, it could spark a turnaround for the whole squad.
