Cardinals' Masyn Winn spotted in new video from YouTube sensation

Let’s have some fun. St. Louis Cardinals’ shortstop Masyn Winn sure is. He just appeared in the famous YouTuber “IShowSpeed’s” baseball video. 

Winn, 24, is coming off a solid 2026 season, despite a lack of offensive clarity. With that in mind, let’s see what he’s been up to.

Most MLB players enter the offseason with a list of weaknesses to address. In the game of failure, weaknesses are plentiful. There’s always lots to work on. 

The Cardinals are lucky that Winn is a perennial Gold Glove candidate, because without his defensive wizardry, his value would’ve been next to none. 

On offense, Winn managed a paltry five home runs, batted .232, and was 20% below league average (via OPS+). 

Early in his career, fans projected progress onto Winn. It was always something along the lines of: “If this kid can just hit .280, he’ll be an MVP!” 

It’s fun to think that way. No, really. I mean it. When you get your hands on a budding star, you pretend like they’re destined to, well, bud. Unfortunately, that’s not always the case. 

The cliché “development is never linear” holds in baseball. More so than any other sport. 

Take a look at Jordan Walker. Conversely, what about Zac Gallen? 

In the wake of all this uncertainty, Winn decided he needed some extra hacks. He got in the cage and started by feeding the tee.

Winn was helping “Speed,” as he’s often referred to, learn how to hit a baseball before he went and showed off his new skills to MLB Hall of Famer Derek Jeter. 

To the naked eye, Speed made lots of progress, and Winn helped. To the clothed eye, Speed is one of the worst baseball players ever, and Winn was clearly being kind. 

This type of offseason cameo is only noteworthy because…IT'S THE OFFSEASON! 

It’s fun. It’s random. Have a laugh. Why is Masyn Winn in an IShowSpeed video? That’s hilarious. 

It should also remind you of how young this Cardinal team is. These aren’t league OGs biding time for the ten-year service mark. The fact that Winn even knows who Speed is serves as a weird testament to the youth overhaul. 

If he bounces back next season, just know it wasn’t newly appointed hitting coach Joel McKeithan; it was I-Show-Speed.
