At 35, new Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol is the youngest in MLB.
That day has arrived — a little earlier than expected.
"I really felt like Oli was going to be a major league manager at some point. I did not think it was necessarily going to be 2022,'' said John Mozeliak, the president of baseball operations for the Cardinals. "Some of the neighborhoods we lived in early on ... these opportunities don't come across the table to the majority of the people that grew up like that,'' Marmol said."For them to be able to identify and see someone of color in a position of leadership, especially for a franchise, a winning franchise, one with a history that the St. Louis Cardinals has, is extremely meaningful.
He spent the past three years as the bench coach under Shildt, helping St. Louis to three consecutive postseason appearances. The Cardinals used a 17-game win streak in September to move into playoff position, but they lost 3-1 to the Dodgers in the NL wild-card game.
