St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty will start on Opening Day. Flaherty revealed the news himself on a Zoom call, saying, "Yeah. He told me. He should probably be the one to tell you guys, but oh well," referring to manager Mike Shildt. Flaherty should be one of the best fantasy starters in the league, and is rewarded for his excellent 2019 with this season's Opening Day nod. He posted a 2.75 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, and 231/55 strikeout-to-walk ratio last season. He should be one of the ...

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty pitched into the third inning in Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Atlanta Braves. He ended up with 2 2/3 innings, allowing one run on two hits and two walks with one strikeout. Flaherty wasn't quite his dominant self in this one, but he was able to limit the damage despite allowing several base runners. Flaherty will get the nod on Opening Day and should be one of the first starting pitchers drafted in most fantasy formats.

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty, who will get the Opening Day start, started the first Grapefruit League game for the Cardinals against a split-squad Mets team. Flaherty threw two innings, allowing two hits and striking out three. He threw 32 pitches and will likely have another one or two starts of just two innings before extending things a bit. Flaherty should be one of the top pitchers off draft boards in most formats this spring.

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty will be on the mound for the Cardinals on Opening Day. He'll also take the ball for the team's first Grapefruit League game. Flaherty was excellent all of last season, but was elite in the second half, putting up a ridiculous 0.91 ERA and 0.71 WHIP. There's a small amount of risk involved, but Flaherty should still be among the first few starters drafted in most leagues. He'll get his season started on March 26 on the road against the Reds.

St. Louis Cardinals chairman Bill DeWitt Jr. said there's a chance that the team will discuss a long-term deal with starting pitcher Jack Flaherty this spring. Flaherty was the best pitcher in baseball in the second half last year and finished with an 11-8 record, 2.75 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 231 strikeouts in 196 1/3 innings over his 33 starts for the Red Birds. At just 24 years old he has become St. Louis' ace, and he will be one of the most coveted fantasy starters heading into spring drafts ...

St. Louis Cardinal Jack Flaherty finished fourth in NL Cy Young voting in 2019, going 11-8 with 231 strikeouts and a 2.75 ERA and 0.97 WHIP in 196.1 innings; but while his final line was undoubtedly fantastic, it still gives short-shrift to just how good Flaherty was over the course of the second half. After struggling through his first 17 starts running a 4.90 ERA and 1.29 WHIP over 90 innings Flaherty went supernova in his final 16 starts, posting a 0.93 ERA and 0.70 WHIP over 106.1 ...

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty was able to pitch with a 10-plus run lead for the entire game, so there wasnt much to stress about in Game 5 of the National League Division Series against the Braves. Still, he went six innings, struck out eight and allowed just one run on a solo shot to Josh Donaldson. The Cardinals got put to a fierce 10-0 first-inning lead and Flaherty didnt let the Braves flirt with a comeback. He did get stretched to 104 pitches, so expect him to need a ...

The Cardinals, who were healthy underdogs going into this series, have taken three of five over the Braves and move on to face either the Dodgers or Nationals in the NLCS. They exploded with 10 first-inning runs in game five and never looked back. Jack Flaherty pitched a solid game and they ended up taking a 13-1 victory. The Cardinals will certainly be underdogs heading into the next series, but this is the Cardinals and we know they have something unique in October. Expect Adam Wainwright to...

Wow. In a deemed pick-em by Vegas, Jack Flaherty and Mike Foltynewicz were supposed to duel and hold each other to one or two runs, at most. The Cardinals had other ideas, demolishing Foltynewicz and putting up 10 runs in the first inning. What might be more surprising is the Cardinals put up 10 runs without a single home run. They had fourteen come to the plate on five hits and two walks, with Fowler, Wong, and Edman doubling in runs. Foltynewicz got just one out before Max Fried replaced ...

Flaherty was strong, but the Cardinals were never able to get anything going on offense. Flaherty finished the night with three earned runs through six innings while striking out eight. You cant ask for much more on the road out of a young arm that doesnt have playoff experience. Flaherty continues to show his maturity beyond his age and looks to be a good long-term replacement for Wainwright. The Braves evened up the series 1-1 on the back of Adam Duvall and the Cardinals will now bring the ...
