You've probably already heard about the #STLCards coaching changes for 2023. This article includes a link to further background on new Pitching Coach Dusty Blake, including a clip of him discussing pitching development at the collegiate level.

If I were a manager I would want the hitting and pitching coaches to keep the players healthy and spend lots of time with the young players adjusting to major league competition and improving their techniques.
I never saw Albert or Maddux working with the young players much during the game. They were usually talking to the vets and the young players appeared to be gravitating to Waino, Albert and Yadi for game advice. And I am very alarmed at the high rate of injuries, particularly among the pitchers.
Also the meltdown of Carp and DeJong and the dropoff in performance in O’Neill and Carlson (although injury related).
At any rate I am ready to try something new. Obviously Ollie was too because I don’t buy the spin. An Mo wisely decided to go along with his manager this time.
