Show Notes

Just like last season, the 2025 St. Louis Cardinals will be loaded with left-handed hitters, especially in their collection of outfielders. Now, this would be a true positive if these left-handed batters were more effective on a consistent basis. And if these LH batters are hitting well as a group, this would make the Cardinals a lot more capable when facing right-handed pitching. Why? Because over the past three seasons, 73% of the plate appearances taken by big-league hitters have come against right-handed pitching.

For the Cardinals to improve offensively in 2025, their LH bats will have to come through with much better results than they did in '24. It's bad enough to have these incessant logjams that are a John Mozeliak speciality. But it's worse when the logjams are such a big factor in shaping a mediocre/poor offense. Thank you for watching.
