カージナルスがここ50年で最悪のスタートを切りリーグ最低勝率に沈んでいます。
好転のきっかけをつかむため、ヤディアー・モリーナの後釜として5年8750万ドルを投じて迎え入れた正捕手のウィルソン・コントレラスをDHに配置転換するという思い切った手を打ってきました。
しかし投手陣不振の裏には組織の投手部門が抱える問題がありました。

True story; our director of player development for the Cardinals came to town when I was playing in their system in Peoria 2 years ago and told us to stop trying to strike people out; throw fastballs down the middle and have the hitters on base or out in 3 pitches….

A coach pulled us aside afterwards and told us that the analysts didn't see it that way and we should be trying to punch people out. Incoherent strategy in that org on the pitching front. They had pitching coaches with no idea how to use trackman (not Peoria PC, he was great)
