The St. Louis Cardinals made preliminary additions to their coaching staff Tuesday, naming Brant Brown as hitting coach and bringing aboard Jon Jay to an unspecified role.
The team revealed that more coaching staff additions on manager Oliver Marmol’s staff will be made as the offseason progresses.
The Cardinals are coming off a season when they went 83-79 to miss the playoffs for a second consecutive year. They finished tied for second in the National League Central but were six games off the pace in the wild-card chase.
The club also revealed that Willie McGee will transition from a major league coach to a special assistant to president of baseball operations John Mozeliak.
According to The Athletic, first-base coach Stubby Clapp and third-base coach Ron Warner are set to return in 2025.
Brown, 53, was the bench coach for the Seattle Mariners last season after serving as the hitting coach for the Miami Marlins in 2023.
Jay, 39, played six of his 12 major league seasons with the Cardinals and was a career .283 hitter with 37 home runs and 341 RBIs in 1,201 games for seven different clubs from 2010-21. Jay was the first-base coach for the Marlins the past two seasons.
