## Resource

Cardinals catcher Ivan Herrera’s throwing woes are hitting a breaking point—his 22 consecutive failed pick-offs and 15 last season mean he hasn’t nabbed a base-stealer since September 2024. Despite elbow surgery and being the team’s most frequent hit-by-pitch victim, Herrera’s defensive struggles are becoming a major concern, especially as Pedro Pages steps up with a stellar 32% caught-stealing rate. With Herrera anchoring the lineup and Pages providing elite arm strength, the Cardinals are clearly in a transition phase behind the plate—where offense meets defense, and the future of their catching game hangs in the balance.
