Does anyone have any updates on the Cardinals pitching lab ?

[ramfandan]

The Cardinals are moving away from their 'pitch to contact' type pitching philosophy that was used under Mo to developing 'strikeout ' type high velocity pitchers. That change was shown in this year's draft of 1st rounder Liam Doyle , the high velo kid from Tennessee.
Reportedly the Cardinals have been trying to improve their technology developing a pitching lab at their Jupiter facility but there have reportedly been setbacks ( something about permitting ? ) .
Matt Pierpont is now the Cardinals new Director of Pitching. Has anyone read or heard about any progress with their pitching lab development ?
Thanks

Key Developments and Efforts
Private Facility Utilization: In the 2023-2024 offseason, the Cardinals sent five players to Driveline and Tread Athletics to utilize their advanced pitching development resources.

Focus on Modern Analytics: The team has fully embraced the importance of velocity and spin, shifting from older "pitch to contact" models, according to an article on MSN.

Player Development in the Minors: The organization is developing a pipeline of strikeout-oriented pitchers with high-level stuff, a key step in the new "pitching revolution," notes the article on MSN.

Strategic Shift: Under the direction of new president of baseball operations Chaim Bloom, the Cardinals have committed to the modern model of pitching development, signaling a significant strategic shift for the organization.

The Missing Piece
Delayed Construction: A long-desired and delayed pitching lab at the team's complex in Jupiter, Florida, has faced permitting headaches and multi-year delays, according to a Belleville News-[political party] report.

Catching Up to the Competition: The Cardinals have been lagging behind other teams in this essential area, lacking the advanced facilities, staffing, and technology that are now standard in the industry, the Belleville News-[political party] reports.

What is/was the bigger fiasco: the Cards' pitching lab or the Loop Trolley?
