Liam Doyle Visits Busch Stadium | St. Louis Cardinals

With the fifth pick of the 2025 MLB draft, the St. Louis Cardinals select Liam Doyle. [Music] Well, Liam was someone that we knew coming into the season was going to be an exciting arm. We had heard from our scout in the fall that his velocity had just taken another jump from his sophomore year and that he was looking like he was able to repeat his delivery. And so for us, the question was ultimately through the year, could he stay starting? And he answered the bell. And not only did he answer the bell, he was dealing with some injuries, uh blister problems, and yet he missed no time. He continued to gain more and more momentum as the year went on. At Pick Five, you you know you’re going to get a good player, but you don’t know which player is going to be there when your time is up. And so as the as the clock kind of ticked down, we were thrilled that he was there for us at the five. It was a pretty emotional night, you know, uh put in a lot of work to get there and being able to celebrate with uh pretty much everyone in my life that has impacted me some way, form. We had like 200 people there and being on the couch with my mom and dad was pretty special. I feel like I’m pretty fierce, you know. I love uh attacking the zone, going after hitters. It just brings the competitiveness out of me and uh makes me want to win. I always have a huge drive to win. uh it’s where I try to do at every program I’m at and now now now in St. Louis just brings that competitive attitude to me and that uh underdog mentality that I’ve always carried with me. [Music] I think a lot of third party publications talk about the unsettled nature of the top five top 10 picks and I think draft boards maybe vary uh widely. Uh we do know that some third party publications though had Liam Doyle as their number one ranked pitcher in the class and so you never know how a draft is going to shake out. teams have different strategies, different mindsets, different ideas going into it. Uh, and so it was a great surprise for us. [Music] Obviously, it’s a extremely historic franchise with a unbelievable fan base and a very passionate city about their baseball. Just landing here today, you’ve been able to see all the Cardinal jerseys in the airport to come here and stuff like that. And just being able to walk around here for past 10 to 15 minutes, you know, it’s definitely a unbelievable place to play at. And uh I can’t wait to get in front of the crowd and start pitching out here.

Firth overall pick Liam Doyle came to Busch Stadium to sign his contract, see the ballpark, and begin his journey in pro baseball.
