St. Louis Cardinals' Masyn Winn Sets Team Record in Major League Debut on Friday

The 21-year-old is the No. 1 prospect in the organization and the No. 32 overall prospect in baseball.

His MLB.com prospect profile backs up his throwing ability:

Winn was a fascinating two-way talent in the five-round 2020 Draft, having shown off an arm capable of touching the high-90s and multiple skills at shortstop. The Cardinals selected him 54th overall that July and toyed briefly with keeping him in both roles before choosing to make him a full-time position player instead. After getting settled at two A-ball levels in 2021, Winn broke out a bit with the bat last year, slashing .283/.364/.468 with 12 homers and 43 steals in 119 games at High-A and Double-A, before he held his own in the Arizona Fall League.

Any discussion of Winn has to start with his arm, a true 80-grade howitzer. He fired a 100.5 mph seed at the All-Star Futures Game in Los Angeles that broke the Statcast-era record for hardest infield throw.

At the plate, Winn went 1-for-4 in his debut. The Cardinals lost the game, 7-1, and fell to 54-69 on the season.
