The Cardinals viewed their 2023 last-place finish as an anomaly and invested in their rotation to try for a quick turnaround. However, their current 15-21 record puts them at the bottom of the NL Central.
In 2023, the Cardinals struggled with a starting rotation that couldn't miss bats and a defense that was the worst in MLB at turning batted balls into outs. While they've seen slight improvements in these areas in 2024, a stagnant offense led by Paul Goldschmidt has hindered their performance.
