Miles Mikolas Feels 'A Lot More Relaxed' As Opening Day Approaches

Miles Mikolas admitted he let himself get too excited about being back at home and pitching in major league spring training games.
Fox Sports Midwest

It may not qualify as pressure, but living up to expectation can often affect the performance of an athlete–a big contract, new teammates, a change in the lineup spot, etc. So while new St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Miles Mikolas wasn’t feeling pressure earlier this spring, there was some extra emotion to contend with.

With a high-octane fastball as his only constant, Cardinals righthander Trevor Rosenthal has been, in the past five seasons, a starter in Class AAA, a setup man for October, and an All-Star at closer.
Post-Dispatch

“Pitchability.” Trevor Rosenthal found the word after a pause, and decided it was the best descriptor for what he’s seeking from his repertoire.
