EDGE Analysis

O'Neill had a breakout season in 2021, slashing .286/.352/.560 with 34 home runs, 80 RBI, 89 runs scored and 15 stolen bases in 138 games. That earned him an everyday role in left field, and he's expected to stay there to begin 2022. While his spring stats aren't anything to boast about, it's still to early to have many concerns. O'Neill remains a strikeout risk -- he whiffed at a 31.3 percent rate while posting a 7.3 percent walk rate, but he's poised to rack up solid counting stats as a power-and-speed threat in the heart of the order in his third full campaign.

O'Neill went 3-for-4 with a double, two solo home runs, an additional run and a stolen base in Friday's 4-3 win over the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

O'Neill crushed solo home runs in the first and fourth innings off Chicago starter Cory Abbott, doubled and scored in the sixth and stole second after reaching on an error in the eighth.

EDGE Analysis

After going yard in both halves of Friday's twin bill, O'Neill kept right on slugging by taking Adrian Sampson deep in the fourth inning Saturday. The 26-year-old is up to 32 homers on the year, including 11 in September alone, and his big month has pushed his slash line on the season to .279/.348/.546.

O'Neill went 3-for-9 with a pair of home runs, five RBI and three runs scored as the Cardinals swept Friday's doubleheader versus the Cubs.

O'Neill didn't stay on the milestone mark for long, adding his 31st long ball in the second inning of the nightcap. The outfielder has enjoyed a breakout campaign with a .280/.348/.542 slash line, 75 RBI, 83 runs scored and 13 stolen bases through 508 plate appearances. He should continue to see near-everyday work in left field while typically batting third in the order.

This latest outburst serves to further what has been a stellar September for the Cardinals' outfielder. He is now hitting .325 with eight home runs and 20 RBI since the end of August.
