The Cardinals' outfield and baserunning have been praised by manager Oliver Marmol for their performance, particularly their work ethic, and ability to stay sharp. The team's offensive performance has also benefited from Jay's guidance on basering and situational awareness. The Cardinals lead the Majors in outfield assists with eight and are currently leading the team with 1.8 bWAR. Jay's influence also extends beyond the field, with Jordan Walker leading with eight home runs and 16 RBIs, while Walker is tied with JJ Wetherholt for the team lead with four stolen bases. Despite a stretch of 17 games in 17 days, the Cardinals have adjusted their lineup to manage workloads.
