ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis Cardinals have hired Canadian Stubby Clapp as their first base coach and Jeff Albert as their hitting coach, rounding out manager Mike Schildt’s coaching staff for next season.
Clapp, a native of Windsor, Ont., has been the manager of the Triple-A Memphis team the past two seasons, while Albert spent time with the Cardinals before spending the past six years with the Astros.
The club announced the moves Monday.
Schildt was given the full-time job last season, when he turned around a languishing club following the firing of Mike Matheny. The Cardinals were in playoff contention until the final week of the season.
