It’s that time of year again: postseason baseball is back. This October among the major league ranks, 4 former Louisville Cardinals will take the diamond in an attempt to reach the grandest stage in all of baseball. In the National League, both Will Smith of the Los Angeles Dodgers and Adam Duvall of the Atlanta Braves will compete for their shot at the NL Pennant. Meanwhile in the American League, 2 former Cardinals and now division rivals Brendan McKay of the Tampa Bay Rays and Chad Green of the New York Yankees battle for their shot in the Fall Classic.
However while the MLB Postseason is only just beginning, the MiLB Postseason is already in the books. 9 Cards took part in the minor league baseball postseason, with 3 helping lead their team to the championship round of their league.
The Southern League Championship saw former CWS teammates square off against each other, with third baseman Drew Ellis’Jackson Generals facing shortstop Devin Hairston’s Biloxi Shuckers. Batting .333 with 3 homers and 9 RBI over the MiLB postseason, Ellis and his Generals won 3 games to 2 over Biloxi, winning back-to-back titles. Ellis was not the only Cardinal to win a championship, as RHP Riley Thompson and his South Bend Cubs won the Midwest League Championship. Over the MiLB postseason, Thompson had 2 starts while tossing 13 strikeouts in 9.1 innings pitched.
While not hoisting the championship trophy, there were still plenty of valiant efforts from former Cardinals elsewhere. Over their 2 game series vs. the Lexington Legends, both first baseman Logan Wyatt and shortstop Tyler Fitzgerald of the Augusta GreenJackets made their presence known. Fitzgerald broke a Lexington no-hitter in game 1 with a no-doubter, while Wyatt had two crucial hits in game 2 including a double.
RHP Bryan Hoeing had a great start to his professional postseason career, as he sat down 7 batters in a 3.1 relief outing of the New York-Penn Semifinals. In 3 games of the Appalachian League, outfielder Jake Snider went 2 for 7 with 2 RBI, while third baseman Grant Kay and second baseman Devin Mann had less than impressive showings in their 2019 postseason.
