Wainwright admitted to losing himself mechanically down the stretch, specifically after he was hit by a comebacker on August 28th.
Prior to Sept. though, Waino was through 163 innings with a 3.09 ERA (3.54 FIP)
The #STLCards could certainly use that sort of production in 2023
In 2022, here were the #STLCards offensive ranks among all MLB teams:
4th in OBP (.325)
4th in K% (19.9%)
5th in wRC+ (114)
5th in Runs (772)
7th in SLG% (.420)
9th in BB% (8.7%)
9th in HR (197)
10th in AVG (.252)
Best of luck to Jeff Albert. He has a bright future in MLB.
Mozeliak said hitting coach Jeff Albert chose to depart in part because he felt like a lot of outside blame was directed toward him. Said #STLCards were prepared to offer him a new contract. Mike Maddux just wanted a change in pace.
