St. Louis Cardinals (2011–2015, 2017)

[edit]

2011–2013

[edit]

The club added Lynn to the40 man rosterand activated him on June 2,2011.He made his MLB debut that night atBusch Stadiumagainst theSan Francisco Giants.[6]In34+1⁄3innings in the regular season with the Cardinals, Lynn notched 40 strikeouts while allowing 25 hits and 11 walks. A pulled flank muscle in August prevented him from appearing in a game until a surprise appearance in the postseason.[4]On October 10, Lynn was awarded the win after throwing exactly one pitch in Game 2 of theNational League Championship Series(NLCS) against theMilwaukee Brewers.[7]In theWorld Series,Lynn gave up back-to-back home runs in the top of the seventh toAdrián BeltréandNelson Cruz.However, he won the World Series with the Cardinals, making a total of 10 appearances during the postseason after appearing in just 18 games during the 2011 regular season.

After arriving at Cardinalsspring trainingin February 2012, Lynn announced he would begin wearing the number 31. WhenChris Carpenterwent on thedisabled list(DL) early in theseason,Lynn replaced him in the rotation. He started strong, winning his first six games with an ERA of 1.40. One of his best games came on June 13 against theChicago White Sox.He completed7+1⁄3innings, struck out a career-high 12 batters, and gave up only three hits. That performance lowered his ERA to 2.42. He also became the second player that season to win 10 games behindR. A. Dickey.[8]

Lynn finished his first half with a 3.41 ERA and 11–4 record in 17 starts. Subsequently, he was named to his firstAll-Star Game.However, he scuffled with a 5.23 ERA in his next eight starts, and was removed from the rotation.Joe Kellyreplaced him in the rotation. Through his first 25 starts, he was 13–5 with a 3.93 ERA.[9]His August ERA ballooned to 6.66 and his second-half ERA overall was 4.32. Lynn attributed his inconsistency to weight gain and poor conditioning. He finished the regular season with an 18–7 record and 180 strikeouts, 3.78 ERA in 35 games, 29 starts and 176 innings.[10]His 9.2 K/9 rate placed fourth in franchise history.[11]He placed second in the NL in wins, seventh in winning percentage, and fourth in K/9. Lynn was added back to the rotation in theNLDSagainst theWashington Nationalsafter the team shiftedJaime Garcíato the DL due to arotator cuffinjury. He was the Game 5 starter in theNLCSagainst theSan Francisco Giants,in which the Cardinals held a 3–1 series lead. However, he gave up four runs in3+2⁄3innings as the Cardinals eventually lost the series.[10]

His ERA remained steady: 4.00 in the first half, 3.93 in the second of the season. He improved his ERA in September to 2.12.[10]His win total was sixth in the NL, strikeouts ninth, and 33 starts placed second.

He showed up to2014Spring Training with an even slimmer look.[13]In a Spring Training game on March 14, Lynn struck out 10Atlanta Bravesin four innings, including the final eight hitters he faced.[14]On April 14, the Cardinals stopped theMilwaukee Brewers' nine-game winning streak behind Lynn's seven scoreless innings. Lynn, who had entered the game with a 6.55 ERA for the season, won his third decision behind 11 strikeouts and just three hits allowed as St. Louis prevailed 4–0.[15]Against theWashington Nationalson April 19, he stroked his first careerextra base hit— an RBIdouble— while picking up the decision for the win in a 4–3 victory.[16]

On May 27, Lynn pitched his first careercomplete gameagainst theNew York Yankees,ashutout.[17]Making his 100th career MLB appearance and another start against the Nationals on Friday, June 13, Lynn pitched five perfect innings on his way to two hits through eight innings in a 1–0 victory overJordan Zimmermann.[18]In a 3–2 loss to theNew York Metsfive days later, he notched his 500th career strikeout, through 503 career innings.[19]Baffling theColorado Rockieson the corners of the strike zone on June 23, Lynn pitched another eight shutout innings in an 8–0 victory atCoors Fieldwhile allowing just three hits.[20]The Cardinals made the playoffs again in 2014, and Lynn started one game each in theNLDSagainst theDodgersand in theNLCSagainst theGiants.He finished with a 3.08 combined ERA and 11 strikeouts in11+2⁄3innings.[21]

Pitching profile

[edit]
Lynn pitch

Lynn has four pitches in his arsenal: afour-seam fastballthat typically travels between 93 miles per hour (150 km/h) (miles per hour) and 95 miles per hour (153 km/h), and tops out at 97 miles per hour (156 km/h); atwo-seam fastball[92 miles per hour (148 km/h)–93]; acut fastball[87 miles per hour (140 km/h)–88 miles per hour (142 km/h)]; and acurveball[79 miles per hour (127 km/h)–80 miles per hour (130 km/h)]. He uses his cutter mostly against right-handed hitters. Besides his four-seam fastball, his curve is his most commonly thrown pitch with two strikes.[53]His four-seamer had one of the highest K/9 among fastballs thrown by relief pitchers in 2012.[54]In 2012, Lynn finished third in the National League in 2012 in K/9, at 9.205. He finished ninth in 2013 with an 8.836 rate.[1]His 33 wins between 2012–13 led all NL starting pitchers over that span.[55]

Personal life

[edit]

Lynn stands 6 feet 5 inches (1.96 m) tall and weighs 275 pounds (125 kg). In November 2010, he married Lauren (Grill) Lynn, who was a softball player at the University of Mississippi, but they have since divorced.[56]They have one daughter together.[57]In January 2020, Lynn married Dymin Hayes and they have two daughters and one son together.[58]They reside inMarion, Illinois.[59]

Throughout his career, Lynn has battled weight problems which have affected his conditioning. The better shape he has been in, the longer he can go in workouts, and thus, the longer he can effectively pitch in single games and throughout the entire season. To improve his weight and conditioning, he conferred with fellow Cardinals startersChris Carpenter,Wainwright andJake Westbrookabout their in-season and off-season preparations methods in the 2012–13 off-season. He obtained team strength and conditioning coach Pete Prinzi's help in formulating an offseason training regimen to address his lapses and stimulate weight loss. The Cardinals also sent team chef Lusky to spend a week with Lynn and his wife Lauren in their home, where he showed them better methods to select and prepare healthy food.[12]Lynn also replaced favorites pizza and beer with more water and vodka.[10]

In 2014, Lynn acknowledged how not handling his emotions during difficult innings affected his ability to limit damage from the opposition and finish off hitters with runners on base. He also has chafed at defensive gaffes and positional shifts with which he did not agree. He had trouble trusting his catchers to call pitches, especiallyYadier Molina,who is highly regarded in his game-calling skills. However, teammates and Cardinals officials noticed that he became more receptive to changing his strategy, and therefore, outcomes.[60]

Lynn grew up aNew York Yankeesfan.[61]
