Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:05:48 GMT

I’ll probably smile when I fly out or strike out,” Lewis said. “I don’t really care. I’d rather strike out four times in a game than sit here and watch everyone hit. It’s so hard to sit there and be on the sidelines.”It’s been a long couple of years for one of the organization’s top prospects, starting when he tore his right anterior cruciate ligament for the first time in February 2021. After returning healthy and slicing through Triple-A pitching, he made a strong impression in the big leagues before retearing his ACL making a catch in center field last May.Months into his recovery, Lewis is eager to return, to show everyone what he can do.

JUPITER, Fla. - Two top prospects are taking care of business and then some in their highly-anticipated spring auditions with the St. Louis Cardinals.Twenty-year-olds Jordan Walker and Masyn Winn have worked their way into lineups on a near-regular basis this spring as many Cardinals stars embark on the World Baseball Classic.

Walker leads all qualified spring hitters with a 1.212 on-base-plus-slugging percentage. Winn recently fired the fastest-tracked spring throw for infielders, a 99.9 mph dart to first base. Along with these spring-leading feats, the dynamic duo has combined for 5 HR, 12 RBI, 14 runs scored, four stolen bases and some occasional web gems here and there in just around two weeks of action.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:05:48 GMT

Homeschooled students came to Missouri’s Capitol last week in hopes they could convince lawmakers to allow them to participate in their local school district’s extracurricular activities.A pair of bills were debated by the Senate education and workforce development committee aimed at expanding access to activities like sports and clubs to students who are homeschooled. “Throughout my elementary school years, I participated in local school and city sponsored activities with my public-school peers,” Jonah Spieker, 16, told the Senate committee. “That came to an abrupt end when I entered the seventh grade. I was cut off from the athletic community that I’ve experienced my whole life.”He could only play football in his local school’s team if he enrolled in two classes, according to Missouri State High School Activities Association (MSHSAA) policy. Spieker’s brother, Zeke, serves as a legislative assistant to Sen. Jill Carter, R-Granby, who is sponsoring one of the two bills he...

Impact of declining scores unclear as Missouri lawmakers continue education debate

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:05:48 GMT

As the Missouri House debated legislation last week to allow students to transfer out of their home district, rumors about the state’s declining school performance data lingered.When the numbers became public later in the day, lawmakers were quick to voice their opinions.Missouri students scored worse across the board from pre-pandemic levels, and 112 districts and charter schools performed poorly enough to put them on the verge of losing accreditation. The scores seemed to have had little impact on the open enrollment vote. Roll calls before and after the release of the numbers show little change in support for the bill.But as the shock of the scores sets in, and lawmakers dive deeper into the numbers during their annual mid-session break this week, just how they will alter the trajectory of a litany of education proposals — school vouchers, charter school expansion, changes to district evaluation, teacher pay hikes — that were already making their way through the legislature ...
