ST. LOUIS (KMOX) - Did you know that John Gant is good at baseball? That fact was just about the biggest topic on Twitter, Monday night.
Gant, the 28-year-old right-handed pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals, has hardly been a topic of conversation this offseason. In fact, the only headline surrounding him would be the fact that he avoided an arbitration hearing with St. Louis by signing a one-year, $1.2 million deal in early December – which hardly had fans talking.
But now, people can't stop mentioning his name on Twitter. It even got his teammate Adam Wainwright attention:
Gant has been arguably the Cardinals most reliable relief pitcher of the last two seasons. He's 11-4 with a 3.43 ERA and 8.6 strikeout-per-nine rate. Plus, he's given up only four home runs in more than 80 innings since 2019.
