Guardians lose front office member to Cards

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Larry Day was hired by the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday as director of player development, Matt Pierpont as director of pitching and Carl Kochan as director of performance, moves that followed two seasons of failing to reach the playoffs.

Day, who turns 40 on March 22, spent 10 seasons with Cleveland, the last two as assistant field coordinator. A minor league player in the New York Yankees system in 2007 and ’08, he was first base coach at Vanderbilt from 2008-2013, became recruiting coordinator at Ohio University in 2014, then joined Cleveland.

He was hitting coach at Lake County in 2015 and Lynchburg in 2016 along with the Arizona Fall League’s Mesa Solar Sox, then managed Lake County in 2017 and in the Arizona Complex League in 2018 and ’19. He became Cleveland’s player programs coordinator from 2020-22.

Rob Cerfolio was hired as the Cardinals’ assistant general manager of player development and performance on Oct. 22 after 10 seasons with Cleveland, the last three as director of player development.

Pierpont, 33, will supervise the Cardinals’ minor league pitching program. A minor league pitcher for the Colorado Rockies from 2013-19, Pierpont spent the last four seasons with the Seattle Mariners, where he was an organization coach in 2021, pitching coach at Everett in 2022, assistant pitching coordinator in 2023 and pitching coordinator in 2024.

Kochan, 48, spent the last six seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers, where he had been minor league performance coordinator, and previously was the San Francisco Giants’ major league strength and conditioning coach.

St. Louis announced on Sept. 30 that Chaim Bloom will replace president of baseball operations John Mozeliak after the 2025 season. Mozeliak replaced Walt Jocketty in October 2007 as general manager in St. Louis. He became president of baseball operations in 2017.

Ohio State blown out on road

COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) — Ja’Kobi Gillespie scored 23 points in his first Big Ten game, Derik Queen had 17 points and 11 rebounds for his fourth double-double, and Maryland built a 40-point lead en route to an 83-59 victory over Ohio State on Wednesday night.

Maryland’s 33-point halftime lead equaled the largest for any Big Ten team in a regular-season conference game since the 1996-97 season. Maryland’s previous best was a 28-point margin against Rutgers on Jan. 6, 2016.

Maryland went ahead by double figures for good during an 11-0 run that ended in a 25-8 lead. The Terrapins led by 50-17 at halftime after holding Ohio State without a field goal in the final four minutes.

Selton Miguel made Maryland’s seventh 3-pointer with 15 minutes left in the second half for a 63-23 lead. Ohio State had just nine made field goals at that point, with its first 3-pointer in 11 tries falling with 13:39 left.

Ohio State entered with 38 made 3-pointers in its last three contests for the best three-game stretch since early in the 2009 season.

Miguel and Julian Reese each added 10 points for Maryland (8-1, 1-0).

Devin Royal scored 18 points and John Mobley Jr. had 15 for Ohio State (5-3, 0-1).

Maryland plays at No. 8 Purdue on Sunday. Ohio State returns home to play Rutgers on Saturday.
