Cardinals' Won-Bin Cho: Re-emerging as prospect in 2026
Rotowire
Cho has launched seven home runs in 10 games since being promoted to Double-A Springfield.
Cho fell off the prospect radar after putting up a sub-.700 OPS over the last two seasons, but he's bounced back in a major way in 2026, slashing .271/.388/.546 with 15 home runs and 23 stolen bases between High-A Peoria and Springfield. The 15 long balls for Cho more than double his previous career high of seven. Cho -- who turns 23 in August -- has split time between all three outfield spots this season but profiles best in a corner.

Cardinals' Won-Bin Cho: Low launch angle at Single-A
Rotowire
Cho slashed .270/.376/.389 with seven home runs and 32 steals in 105 games for Single-A Palm Beach.
Cho, who turned 20 in August, had a strong 111-mph max exit velocity. However, his 50 percent groundball rate muted his game power to a large extent. Cho is listed as a 50-grade runner by both FanGraphs and MLB Pipeline, so his stolen-base total (74.4 percent success rate) seemingly exaggerates his long-term potential in that category.
