Winn, 21, who was the Cardinals 2^(nd) round draft choice (54^(th) player overall)
in the 2020 MLB draft, is currently ranked by MLB Pipeline as the organization’s
top prospect (16^(th) overall).

The right-handed hitting [Winn](https://www.nyrdcast.com/tag/masyn-winn/), a native
of Kingwood, Texas, is batting .288 with an .833 OPS, 18 home runs, 61 RBI and 17
stolen bases in his first season of play at Triple-A. He leads all of minor league
baseball with 99 runs scored and is T-2^(nd) in hits (128) among all Triple-A players.

The strong-armed Winn, who was selected as a possible two-way player, has been recognized
by _Baseball America_ for having the “Best Infield Arm” and being the “Best Athlete”
in the Cardinals farm system. He flashed a 100.5 MPH infield throw during the 2022
SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game.

The 5-10, 180-pound Winn has swiped 92 bases in 104 career attempts (88 pct.) in
the minors and has 20 career triples.

Winn, the reigning Cardinals Minor League Player of the Month in July, has had four
separate hitting streaks of at least 10 games this season, including a career-high
16-game streak May 23-June 9.          

Winn joins **_[Alec Burleson](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/b/burleal01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.nyrdcast.com&utm_campaign=2023-08-18_br)_**

among players from the Cardinals 2020 draft class who are now playing for St. Louis.
He was the youngest player at the Triple-A level to begin the 2023 campaign.

Winn will wear uniform No. 0 and will be in uniform tomorrow night (7:15 p.m. CDT)
when the Cardinals continue their weekend series against the New York Mets at Busch
Stadium.
