More specifically, manager Mike Shildt has yet to officially name the St. Louis Cardinals closer. There are seemingly a handful of candidates on the current roster in Andrew Miller, Jordan Hicks, and Alex Reyes. However, I think there is another option that many have yet to consider: Adam Wainwright.
I understand that many believe that Jordan Hicks is the closer for 2019, but I don’t feel as though he is ready for the job yet. He has only pitched one season above A ball. Though Hicks performed quite well last year with a 108 ERA+ last year, I feel there is still growth to be made before closer duties are assumed.
