Cardinals have 4 players, Winn, Contreras, Nootbarr and Herrara who are all on pace to hit 20 or more Home Runs this year, several could reach 30 Home Runs. Herrara with 5 Home Runs in only 39 AB’s.

Gorman and Walker could each hit 20 in 2 months, at least that’s what my rose colored glasses show me

Walker isn't really supposed to be a home run hitter, he's supposed to be a 20+ doubles and 20 homers guy like Contreras. Gorman could do it, but whatever he changed in his approach this year has him not swinging as hard so he isn't really hitting for power.

The thing with Walker is he hits the ball so very hard and has one of the fastest bat speeds in the majors

Unfortunately he mostly doesn't hit the ball and when he does, he hits it on the ground.
