Paul DeJong is Back, Again

  • 7:50 pm

The 29-year-old shortstop has been with the Cardinals since 2017, in that time span, there have been quite a few ups, alongside a fair share of downs. It feels like every year DeJong makes his ‘great return’ only to disappoint behind the plate. This time around, DeJong finds himself in the lineup of a Cardinals team that seems lost in more ways than one. Although many of the Redbird’s woes have come from the pitcher’s mound, you can’t simply shake off being fourth in the NL Central and blame it all on the pitching staff. However, the presence of Paul DeJong in Sunday’s game against Seattle proved to pay dividends, as the Cardinals picked up a win on the back of a three-for-four, home run performance from ‘Pauly-D.’ With that being said, we’ve seen this kind of thing before. So, is this just another early-season specious performance from the infielder, or is DeJong back to what he once was?

 

DeJong signed with St. Louis in 2015 and made his minor league debut in the Rookie-level Appalachian League. After a few games of hitting the ball like it was a grapefruit, he was promoted to the Peoria Chiefs. Throughout the season (with both teams), he slashed .316/.394/.516 with 41 RBIs. In 2016 he made the jump up to Springfield and was later selected as a Texas League All-Star. To begin the 2017 campaign, the Cardinals assigned DeJong to AAA Memphis. He would eventually get the call-up to the big leagues, however. As on May 28th, 2017 the Cards would promote DeJong onto the roster and designate Kolten Wong to the disabled list. DeJong would make his big league debut that very same day against Colorado. He would hit a home run on his very first major league swing.

 

Throughout the rest of the 2017 season, DeJong would continue to light up the league as a rookie. Slashing .285/.325/.532 with 25 home runs and 65 RBIs. He would finish second in the NL Rookie of the Year voting behind then-Dodger Cody Bellinger. In March of 2018, the Cardinals and DeJong agreed on a six-year contract extension (including two option years) worth up to 52 million dollars. Overall, his 2018 campaign was solid, as he finished slashing .241/.313/.433 and showing off a terrific glove throughout. 2019, however, was the peak of DeJong’s career up to this point as he would be selected to the 2019 All-Star Game at Progressive Field in Cleveland. He finished the 2019 season slashing .233/.318/.444, hitting 30 home runs. Alongside this, DeJong was an absolute master with the glove from the six position, posting a 3.3 defensive WAR (leading all NL shortstops) and a .989 fielding percentage, leading all big league shortstops. He was also nominated for a Gold Glove, which he probably should have won. On August 4th of 2020, DeJong tested positive for COVID-19, and he was subsequently placed in the IL. He would return a few weeks later and finish the shortened 2020 season with a .250/.322/.349 slash line, hitting just three home runs and 25 RBIs in 45 games.

 

The 2021 season was really the beginning of the problems for the infielder. DeJong would struggle mightily, especially at bat. Edmundo Sosa would slowly take over the primary shortstop duties for the Redbirds as the summer of the 2021 season moved along. But, when Sosa moved to the IL in September, DeJong would be given his starting job back. However, his final stat line was rather disappointing, batting .197/.284/.390. The 2022 season would begin with DeJong as the starting shortstop for St. Louis. As the season began, he seemed stuck. He struggled heavily through the first month of the season, he seemed really wrapped up in his issues of the prior year. It looked, at times, like he was in his own head. After posting a .130 batting average and getting on base in just over 20% of his at-bats through the first month of the 2022 campaign, the Cardinals would send DeJong back down to AAA. In a somewhat surprising move later that summer, St. Louis would flip Edmundo Sosa to the Phillies, recalling DeJong from the Memphis Redbirds and thrusting him back into the everyday shortstop role. In his first game back, he hit a two-run home run in the 5th inning of a 7-6 loss to the Nationals. His season would show improvement towards its tail end, but he still finished with a (much) less than stellar slash line of .157/.245/.286.

That brings us to the current St. Louis Cardinals season, in which DeJong would start on the IL. On April 23rd, however, he would make yet another return to the Cardinals starting lineup against the Seattle Mariners. DeJong would, impressively, go three for four with a homer and two singles. However, it seems like this is something DeJong is great at; he makes a return to the majors, and absolutely kills it, he rides on the excitement of being back in a big-league ballpark. But; ultimately, he ends up being a disappointment. Time and time again, he has been given chances to prove he can provide a big bat at a consistent level, and time and time again, he has struggled under the pressure. If the 2023 campaign is yet another negative offensive WAR season with a sub-200 batting average for DeJong, it may be time for Mozeliak and the Cardinals to pick up the tab. Paul DeJong was an electric player early on in his career, and I truly hope he breaks free from the cycle he’s developed and returns to the player all of Cardinal nation knows he can be, All-Star Pauly-D.

Cookie Policy
COOKIE POLICY

Last updated April 24, 2023



This Cookie Policy explains how STL Sports Central ("Company," "we," "us," and "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at https://stlsportscentral.com ("Website"). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

In some cases we may use cookies to collect personal information, or that becomes personal information if we combine it with other information.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, STL Sports Central) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

Why do we use cookies?

We use first- and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Online Properties. Third parties serve cookies through our Website for advertising, analytics, and other purposes. This is described in more detail below.

How can I control cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie rights by setting your preferences in the Cookie Consent Manager. The Cookie Consent Manager allows you to select which categories of cookies you accept or reject. Essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are strictly necessary to provide you with services.

The Cookie Consent Manager can be found in the notification banner and on our website. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted. You may also set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies.

The specific types of first- and third-party cookies served through our Website and the purposes they perform are described in the table below (please note that the specific cookies served may vary depending on the specific Online Properties you visit):

How can I control cookies on my browser?

As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser to browser, you should visit your browser's help menu for more information. The following is information about how to manage cookies on the most popular browsers:
In addition, most advertising networks offer you a way to opt out of targeted advertising. If you would like to find out more information, please visit:

What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?

Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has visited our Website or opened an email including them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within a website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to the website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.

Do you use Flash cookies or Local Shared Objects?

Websites may also use so-called "Flash Cookies" (also known as Local Shared Objects or "LSOs") to, among other things, collect and store information about your use of our services, fraud prevention, and for other site operations.

If you do not want Flash Cookies stored on your computer, you can adjust the settings of your Flash player to block Flash Cookies storage using the tools contained in the Website Storage Settings Panel. You can also control Flash Cookies by going to the Global Storage Settings Panel and following the instructions (which may include instructions that explain, for example, how to delete existing Flash Cookies (referred to "information" on the Macromedia site), how to prevent Flash LSOs from being placed on your computer without your being asked, and (for Flash Player 8 and later) how to block Flash Cookies that are not being delivered by the operator of the page you are on at the time).

Please note that setting the Flash Player to restrict or limit acceptance of Flash Cookies may reduce or impede the functionality of some Flash applications, including, potentially, Flash applications used in connection with our services or online content.

Do you serve targeted advertising?

Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve advertising through our Website. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that you may be interested in. They may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. They can accomplish this by using cookies or web beacons to collect information about your visits to this and other sites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services of potential interest to you. The information collected through this process does not enable us or them to identify your name, contact details, or other details that directly identify you unless you choose to provide these.

How often will you update this Cookie Policy?

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.

The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.

Where can I get further information?

13. TERM AND TERMINATION

These Legal Terms shall remain in full force and effect while you use the Services.

15. GOVERNING LAW

These Legal Terms and your use of the Services are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Missouri applicable to agreements made and to be entirely performed within the State of Missouri, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

16. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Informal Negotiations

To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Legal Terms (each a "Dispute" and collectively, the "Disputes") brought by either you or us (individually, a "Party" and collectively, the "Parties"), the Parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating arbitration. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one Party to the other Party.

Binding Arbitration

If the Parties are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WITHOUT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes ("AAA Consumer Rules"), both of which are available at the American Arbitration Association (AAA) website. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Consumer Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. If such costs are determined by the arbitrator to be excessive, we will pay all arbitration fees and expenses. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by either Party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except where otherwise required by the applicable AAA rules or applicable law, the arbitration will take place in St. Charles, Missouri. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

If for any reason, a Dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, the Dispute shall be commenced or prosecuted in the state and federal courts located in St. Charles, Missouri, and the Parties hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction, and forum non conveniens with respect to venue and jurisdiction in such state and federal courts. Application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA) are excluded from these Legal Terms.

In no event shall any Dispute brought by either Party related in any way to the Services be commenced more than one (1) years after the cause of action arose. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

Restrictions

To the full extent permitted by law, (a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding; (b) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (c) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.

If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
