to me, not to others.

He started in MLB about 18 or so years ago, was assigned as a part-time coach in the Cards org in 2004 and has been steadily growing in experience and level since.

he's managed for 8 years in THIS organization.

That YOU don't know him isn't material. He's more well known than any person the cardinals could interview from the outside.




St. Louis Cardinals system
Shildt started his Major League Baseball career as an associate scout with the league for three seasons.[2] He moved on to the Cardinals organization, working as the area scout for North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia.[2] On a recommendation from future Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak, Shildt began his minor league coaching career as a part-time coach. Shildt was sent to the Cardinals' Single-A affiliate in the New York–Penn League. He was a part-time coach during 2004 and 2005, while continuing his scouting duties.[2] He was promoted to a full-time coaching position in 2006, and kept coaching with the single A affiliate until the 2007 season.[2] In 2008, Shildt coordinated the Cardinals' minor league spring training workout camp.[4] Afterwards he became the hitting coach for the Johnson City Cardinals for the 2008 season.[4]

Shildt was promoted to manage Johnson City in 2009, where he finished with a 37–30 record.[5] In his second season, Johnson City posted a 42–24 win-loss record, and after defeating its two playoff opponents, won the Appalachian League championship.[6] For his effort, Shildt was named St. Louis Cardinals Minor League Manager of the Year by Scout.com.[6] He was also named the Appalachian League Manager of the Year.[6] Among the players he helped improve during the season include Appalachian League's Pitcher of the Year Ryan Copeland, and batting average champion Phil Cerreto.[6] After Johnson City's season ended, Shildt was invited to spend some time on the St. Louis Cardinals roster in order to gain experience.[6] After the season, Shildt was awarded the Appalachian League Manager of the Year award, and the George Kissell Award for his "excellence in player development" by the St. Louis Cardinals organization.[7]

Johnson City repeated as league champions in 2011 under Shildt.[8] It was the first time that Johnson City clinched two consecutive league championships since 1975–1976.[8]

Mike went on to manage the Springfield Cardinals (AA) for three seasons. Shildt guided Springfield to its first Texas League Championship before being recognized as Baseball America's Team of the Year in 2012.

Following two seasons as the manager for the Memphis Redbirds (AAA) Mike was again promoted in 2017, this time to the MLB team, as the quality control coach. After a rough start to the 2017 season, third base coach Chris Maloney was reassigned in the organization, and Shildt became the full-time Cardinals third base coach for the rest of the 2017 season. When José Oquendo was brought back for the 2018 season to be the St. Louis Cardinals third base coach, Shildt became the team’s bench coach for the 2018 season.[9] On July 14, 2018, Shildt was made interim manager of the Cardinals following the firing of Mike Matheny.[10] Bob Nightengale of USA Today tweeted on August 28, 2018 that the team would remove the interim tag from Shildt's title and name him the club's permanent manager.[11
