ST. LOUIS, Mo. (Matrix Midwest) – With the 2026 MLB season just a couple of months away, Matrix Midwest and KMOV are giving you an inside look at how one Cardinals pitcher is getting ready for action.
“The Nest: Matthew Liberatore” is a 20-minute video produced by Cardinals Productions staff, showcasing the starting pitcher at his home in Phoenix, Arizona and follows him through his offseason training regimen in preparation for the upcoming season.
This will be the second episode of the series, which followed former Cardinals utilityman Brendan Donovan before the start of last season.
“It was really cool having the Cardinals Productions crew come visit me in Phoenix to see where my offseason work actually happens,” said Liberatore. “Getting to share the routine and behind-the-scenes grind that goes into preparing for the season made the whole experience special.”
The episode will air on Matrix Midwest (over-the-air channel 32,Spectrum channel 6) on Sunday, February 22, at 6:30 p.m., and on KMOV on Sunday, March 8, at 11 p.m.
