ST. LOUIS —The St. Louis Cardinals hired Larry Day as director of player development, Matt Pierpont as director of pitching, and Carl Kochan as director of performance on Wednesday. The moves followed two seasons of failure to reach the playoffs.
Day, who turns 40 on March 22, spent 10 seasons with Cleveland, the last two as assistant field coordinator. A minor league player in the New York Yankees system in 2007 and ‘08, he was first base coach at Vanderbilt from 2008-2013, became recruiting coordinator at Ohio University in 2014, then joined Cleveland.
Pierpont, 33, will supervise the Cardinals’ minor league pitching program. A minor league pitcher for the Colorado Rockies from 2013-19, Pierpont spent the last four seasons with the Seattle Mariners, where he was an organization coach in 2021, pitching coach at Everett in 2022, assistant pitching coordinator in 2023 and pitching coordinator in 2024.
Kochan spent the last six seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers, where he had been minor league performance coordinator, and previously was the San Francisco Giants’ major league strength and conditioning coach.
