Adam Wainwright is making a major league move! The former St. Louis Cardinals ace is now a Fox Sports analyst. This big news just dropped on Twitter.
Waino is a Cardinals icon. He dazzled for 18 years, nailing three All-Star selections. He was a top Cy Young contender multiple times. Plus, he snagged a Silver Slugger award in 2017. Talk about a pitching powerhouse!
In his later years, Waino dabbled in commentary. His 2021 MLB playoff analysis? A smash hit. Fans and critics loved it.
Lindsey Adler of the Wall Street Journal was all praises. "Really cool to hear Adam Wainwright in the booth for this Stros-Sox game. Also very impressed by his work ethic and stamina to just jump into a new job right after pitching more than 210 major-league innings this year,” she tweeted.
Another fan raved, “Does anyone else think Adam Wainwright was a great addition to the FS1 broadcasts? He had such great pitching insight and overall commentary. I hope to see more of him in the booth.”
Post-retirement, Waino didn't skip a beat. He jumped straight into commentating the 2023 playoffs. The Astros vs. the World Series champs, the Texas Rangers, got the Wainwright touch.
His secret sauce? A mix of deep baseball insight, a fun-loving vibe, and a knack for self-humor. He's a broadcasting gem.
Can't wait to see Waino shake things up in 2024. It's going to be a blast watching him tease his old teammates from the booth!
