Tyler O’Neill

Cardinals left fielder Tyler O’Neill has had an amazing season. O’Neill earned him NL Player of the Month honors in September. More accolades are definitely on their way for O’Neill. He hopes to ride this momentum for an October to remember.

For the past 30 days, O’Neill is hitting .343/.391/.762 with an OPS of 1.153. Unreal! He’s had 12 home runs, a triple, and six doubles, with 28 RBI, and five stolen bases. This season, O’Neill had three homers in games against the Dodgers. One of O’Neill’s more amazing defensive play’s was against the Dodgers. Remember his walk-off catch at the wall at Dodger Stadium?

O’Neill has had an unreal season. He will definitely continue this amazing pace into October and beyond. This man has proven himself to be a star for the Cardinals.
