Dal Maxvill Faces Big League Pressure As Cardinals Debut
In his first major league season with St Louis at age 23 Dal Maxvill meets the challenge with calm guidance from Johnny Keane. The scoutlike rookie emphasizes defense over power while his career batting peaks around .253, with five career homers cited and a calm demeanor noted despite skepticism about his hitting.
Maxvill Baffles Critics With Glove Not Bat This Season
The Cardinals' shortstop Maxvill remains defined by defense despite a place in the middle of the batting order. He notes peers like Kessinger and Harrelson hitting around .240 and acknowledges his own roughly .180 average this year, while emphasizing his superior fielding as the team debates a regular shortstop. Johnny Keane confirms the strategy is to catch the ball and let others hit.
