The St. Louis Cardinals have a lot of injustices to right as they look to revitalize a once-respected organization, and the front office is wasting no time.

It was announced Monday that Cardinals legend Willie McGee will step down from his coaching role on the St. Louis bench while 2011 World Series champion Jon Jay joins manager Oli Marmol’s staff.

After parting ways with coach Turner Ward shortly after the end of this year’s regular season, the Cardinals have already found the right man for the job.

“We (Cardinals) have also hired Brant Brown as our new hitting coach,” the organization announced Tuesday. “Brown has been a major league assistant coach for the past seven seasons, working with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Miami Marlins and Seattle Mariners. Brown worked alongside Jon Jay on the Marlins coaching staff in 2023.”

Brown was the Dodgers’ assistant hitting coach from 2020-22, helping Los Angeles reach the National League Championship Series twice and win its No. 7 World Series title during the COVID-19-limited season.

The 53-year-old also helped former St. Louis Cardinals fan favorite Skip Schumaker win 2023 Manager of the Year with the Miami Marlins, successfully turning a club that finished 2022 with a 69-93 record into a winning record from 84-78 the following season.

After the exciting hires of former Cleveland Guardians director of player development Rob Cerfolio and Brown, it’s safe to say St. Louis is moving in the right direction.

Ward’s firing was necessary after the Cardinals’ offense struggled greatly in 2024. Brown offers a new wave of hope for a St. Louis lineup that ranked 22nd in the league with 672 runs scored last season.

So far, the presence of future Cardinals baseball president Chaim Bloom has brought positive changes to the coaching staff. Hopefully he can revitalize the big league roster soon.
