Reese Beheler brings left-handed power potential, but Lamar is still waiting for the breakout
Beheler entered Lamar with a strong prep reputation and real physical tools, including a 6'2", 215-pound frame, left-handed bat, and exit-velocity data that points to legitimate pop; in 2026, however, his production has been modest, with a .149 average, 0 home runs, and 3 RBI for the Cardinals. His appeal is upside: a corner-infield profile built for power if the hit tool catches up, plus enough size and strength to fit a lineup that wants damage potential. For a team, he looks like a developmental buy with clear offensive upside rather than an immediate middle-of-the-order lock.[2][3][5][6]
