LOUIS -- No at-bat better epitomized the Cardinals’ plate approach and successful stubbornness more than the one catcher Pedro Pagés took in the bottom of the fourth inning as his squad was throttling All-Star left-hander Framber Valdez and the Astros on Monday night. Pagés’ gritty at-bat -- and several

ST. LOUIS -- Pedro Pagés literally arrived in the big leagues via Uber in April 2024 when there were no timely flights available between Indianapolis and St. Louis. He also tugged at the heartstrings of the baseball world for a short time last June when he homered twice on Father’s

The Minor Leagues are in full swing with Triple-A circuits two weeks into their seasons and Double-A, High-A and Single-A leagues a week into theirs. That means plenty of great baseball to watch, either in person or via MiLB.TV, which streams games for 117 of the 120 full-season affiliates.

PITTSBURGH – A fiery competitor who has been known to allow his white-hot lava of emotions to spill out from time to time in the past, Willson Contreras said if there’s one thing to be proud of early in the 2025 season, it’s how he’s handled failure better than before.

PITTSBURGH -- Paul Skenes’ raw talent is undeniable, but for whatever reason the Cardinals have the number of the reigning National League Rookie of the Year. The Cardinals, the only team to beat Skenes twice in 2024, hammered the Pirates star right-hander for a career-high five earned runs and six

A number of baseball's best prospects broke through on Wednesday after a quiet opening weekend, including a pair of Top 100 prospects at Double-A. A lightning-quick effort at High-A was one for the ages while a Triple-A slugger continues to establish himself as one of the top young power hitters

We are not only rolling on all cylinders in the Majors and the Minor Leagues right now, but the college baseball season as well. In December, MLB Pipeline's Jim Callis put out his first official mock draft for the 2025 class, but a lot has changed since then. The evaluation

Needless to say, MVP Awards are not won (or lost) in the first two weeks of the season. Remember 2024? Aaron Judge didn’t really get things going until May. Yes, sensational starts can fizzle out quickly. Cold April slumps are forgotten when the weather, and the bats, heat up. But

BOSTON – The Cardinals lost Game 1 of their doubleheader in excruciating fashion, 5-4 in 10 innings, when All-Star closer Ryan Helsley uncharacteristically struggled with his control, and they were subsequently throttled 18-7 in the nightcap under a barrage of hard-hit balls by the Red Sox.
