Wetherholt entered Sunday’s game hitting .321 with a .412 on-base percentage through 15 games. He now has six home runs since being promoted to Memphis.

Wetherholt was promoted from Springfield to Memphis following his first multi-homer game and being named to the National League roster for the MLB All-Star Futures Game, where Wetherholt went 1-for-4 with a double that led off the game.

Wetherholt also had a four- hit game on July 18.

The St. Louis Cardinals selected Wetherholt with the seventh overall pick in 2024, the highest selection in WVU baseball history. He helped the Mountaineers to an NCAA Super Regional appearance during his final season, setting a series of program records at the plate after breaking out during the 2023 campaign.

Wetherholt began the 2025 season in Double-A and recorded seven home runs, 34 RBI, 44 walks and 14 stolen bases before moving up to Triple-A. He helped the Cardinals’ Single-A affiliate win the Florida State League championship in 2024, logging the game-winning hit.
