The results on the back fields, the spring thinking goes, hardly matter. The impressions, though, the takeaways, could go a long way toward shaping a season. Take Tuesday, for example, when Cardinals pitchers faced hitters for the first time in live batting practice.

The purpose of Spring Training is to prepare for the regular season, but for many players, it is also the time to make an impression. A spot may not be available today on the 25-man roster, but as the season progresses things can change and a strong impression in Spring Training can often pay off at a later date. And that may be just the case for pitcher Jordan Hicks, who made quite the impression today with his live pitching session.
