Jon Jay, who played for the Cardinals from 2010 to 2015 will join the Cardinals staff as a coach and in addition, the Cardinals have also announced that Brant Brown has been named the Cardinals new hitting coach.

The Cardinals are hiring Jon Jay for a yet to be announced coaching role, as first reported by Katie Woo of the Athletic. Woo also reports that assistant coach Willie McGee has stepped down from the staff and will move into an advisory role with the front office.

Jay, a fixture in the Cardinals outfield for six seasons, will return to St. Louis and join close friend Daniel Descalso on Oliver Marmol's staff for the 2025 season.

The St. Louis Cardinals made preliminary additions to their coaching staff Tuesday, naming Brant Brown as hitting coach and bringing aboard Jon Jay to an unspecified role.

Jon Jay, a 2011 World Series champion as an outfielder with the St. Louis Cardinals, will reportedly return to the franchise in a coaching role in 2025.

The St. Louis Cardinals already have one member of the 2011 World Series winning team on its coaching staff in bench coach Daniel Descalso. They could reportedly see another member of that roster join the Cardinals coaching staff.
