Noted for his abilities to induce groundball outs, Seth Maness was the go-to guy for the St. Louis Cardinals late in games when runners were threatening. Then, last season happened and fans witnessed Maness face challenges. Fast forward to this spring- and renewed hope- where expectations were for Maness to return to form.
Now, after appearing in five games, it seems as though the marring struggles continue.
Looking back, in 2013, at 24 years old Maness earned a respectable 2.32 ERA over 66 games. In these games, Maness appeared across 62 innings allowing 65 hits but only allowing 16 earned runs.
