St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Jordan Walker has now recorded a hit in each of the first 12 games to begin his big league career.

He didn't record a hit until the ninth inning of the Cardinals' 7-4 win over the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday.

Walker joins Eddie Murphy of the 1912 Philadelphia Athletics as the only AL/NL players since 1900 to accomplish the feat before their 21st birthday.

He can take sole ownership of the record when the Cardinals return home Thursday.

"I'd be lying to say it wasn't cool," Walker said. "Even if it isn't my main focus right now, it is still pretty cool to know I have that accomplishment."

Walker is also tied with the Philadelphia Phillies' Bryson Stott for the longest active hitting streak in the Major Leagues this season.
