In episode three of a new podcast called Toeing the Slab that aired on October 28, Adam Wainwright appeared as a guest to discuss a number of topics, ranging from farming to a 2021 World Series preview to Wainwright’s thoughts on the Cardinals’ new manager. One of the topics that came up was the use of analytics to help optimize a player’s pitching repertoire (this section begins at around 12 minutes in the video in the link above). Wainwright said he had some reluctance at first to invest heavily in the new technologies, and it’s hard to blame him after putting together such a successful career.
