The St. Louis Cardinals<\/a> are getting to see him put it all on display in the early going.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, Walker hit a grand slam beyond 450 feet.<\/p>\n

He also tallied three hits and stole a base.<\/p>\n

It’s the first time a Cardinals player had had those three components in a game since Ray Lankford in 1997, according to beat reporter Jeff Jones<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Walker also had an outfield assist, which makes it even more unique.<\/p>\n

Walker was one of the top prospects in baseball, but it’s been a rough couple of seasons.<\/p>\n

He has started this season in a much better place, and he might just still have a great career in front of him.<\/p>\n
