Bill DeWitt Jr. has served as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Cardinals since 1996, when he led the purchase of the team from Anheuser Busch, and he and his immediate family acquired controlling interest in the team.

DeWitt, Jr. has been a prior owner of the Baltimore Orioles, Cincinnati Reds and Texas Rangers. He was also a shareholder of the Cincinnati Bengals Football Team and the Cincinnati Stingers Hockey Team, and has had a long career in private equity with Reynolds DeWitt & Co. and DeWitt Capital Group. He is married to the former Katharine Cramer of St. Louis, and they have four grown children: Katie, Bill, Andrew, and Margot, and 12 grandchildren.

ST. LOUIS CARDINALS MANAGEMENT
FRONT OFFICE
JOHN MOZELIAKPRESIDENT OF BASEBALL OPERATIONS
John “Mo” Mozeliak was named President of Baseball Operations on June 30, 2017, the first to be named to that position in franchise history. Mozeliak had served as the team’s Senior Vice President and General Manager for almost 10 full seasons, since October, 2007. He was the 12th general manager in the over 125-year history of the St. Louis Cardinals, and had previously held the position of Assistant General Manager for six seasons. His contract runs through the 2023 season.
Under Mozeliak, the Cardinals have reached the postseason seven times (2009, 2011-15, 2019), including a franchise record of five-straight seasons from 2011-2015. During that run, the Cardinals won three-straight National League Central Division titles (2013-2015), and have won five N.L. Central Titles overall (also 2009 and 2019) under Mo’s leadership. The five-year postseason run began with St. Louis’ 11th World Championship in 2011.
The 2019 season was the Cardinals 12th-consecutive winning season, a streak that began when Mozeliak was named General Manager prior to the 2008 season. The Cardinals 1,076 wins in those 12 seasons under Mozeliak’s watch are third only to the New York Yankees (1,113) and Los Angeles Dodgers (1,098), while they and the Yankees are the only teams to have posted 12 consecutive winning seasons in that time period.
A consistent culture of retaining key players has resulted in several significant deals aimed at keeping the organization’s top talent in St. Louis. Since 2012, the club has worked out multi-year deals with Yadier Molina (2012 & 2017), Adam Wainwright (2013), Matt Carpenter (2014), Kolten Wong (2016), Carlos Martinez (2017), Paul DeJong (2018), Miles Mikolas (2019) and Paul Goldschmidt (2019).
Mozeliak engineered a series of late season moves in 2011 that transformed the Cardinals and saw the team go from 10 ½ games back in late August to winning the franchise’s 11th World Championship. Baseball America named the Cardinals the 2011 Organization of the Year, the first time the franchise had received the honor. Mo was the 2011 recipient of the MLB.com GIBBY (Greatness in Baseball Yearly) Executive of the Year award and he was named, along with Tony La Russa, as the 2011 Baseball Man of the Year by the St. Louis Chapter of the Baseball Writers Association of America.
In 2012, the Cardinals fell just one win shy of capturing the N.L. Championship, and with the team’s suc-cess, Mo was honored by the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum with the Andrew “Rube” Foster Award as Executive of the Year. The 2013 team won the National League Championship and returned to the World Series just two years removed from winning the World Series title in 2011. Following that season, the organization was recognized by Baseball America as the Organization of the Year - the second such honor in three years - and was honored by USA Today Sports as having the best franchise among Major League baseball teams. The 2014 team captured the Central Division title for a second-straight season and returned to the National League Championship Series for a fourth-straight year. St. Louis led all Major League Baseball teams in wins and reached the postseason for a fifth-straight season in 2015, the ninth time in franchise history a Cardinals team had won 100 games.
Mozeliak, 51, is a 25-year veteran of the Cardinals front office, having joined the organization following the 1995 season where he initially served as an assistant in scouting operations during both the 1996 and 1997 seasons. Mo was named assistant scouting director in 1998 and was promoted to scouting director during 1999 and 2000. Several notable players came out of the draft classes of ’99 and 2000 under Mo’s direction, most notably first baseman and perennial All-Star Albert Pujols who was drafted in the 13th round of the 1999 draft, as well as catcher Yadier Molina.
In 2001, Mozeliak was named Director of Baseball Operations and in 2003 he was promoted to Assistant General Manager. During his time as Assistant GM, Mo’s duties increased as he focused more on the Major League Club and professional scouting, while still having direct involvement in both the scouting and player development departments.
Mozeliak began his career in baseball in 1993 with the Colorado Rockies where he worked in a variety of positions in baseball operations. He attended the University of Arizona and the University of Colorado. He currently serves as the National Trustee for the Foundation Fighting Blindness and sits on the Mercy Hospital Foundation board. Mozeliak lives in St. Louis with his wife, Julie, daughter, Allyson, and son, Will.

CAREER NOTES:Mike Shildt is entering his third season (second full season) as the Cardinals manager, having led the team to an N.L.
Central Division title in 2019. Shildt was voted the N.L. Manager of the Year for 2019 by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America, joining Hall of Fame managers Whitey Herzog (1985) and Tony La Russa (2002) as the only Cardinals managers to have won the award. He is the only MLB Manager of the Year to have never played professionally.
Shildt guided the Cardinals to their 12th N.L. Central title in his first full season at the helm, overseeing a transformation of the team’s defense with record-setting performances, as the Cardinals became the first Major League team in history to go from worst to first in errors in back-to-back seasons. The Cardinals went 91-71 in 2019 while advancing to the N.L. Championship Series, and are 132-99 (.571 winning pct.) under Shildt since he was named interim manager in 2018.
Shildt was named the 50th manager in franchise history on July 15, 2018, serving on an interim basis after replacing Mike Matheny. After guiding the team to a National League best 26-12 (.684) mark in his first 38 games at the helm, Shildt was named manager on August 28, 2018. He was signed to a three-year contract extension thru 2022 in November, 2019.
Shildt was serving in his second season as a member of the Cardinals Major League coaching staff prior to his appointment as interim manager, and his first season as the team’s bench coach. Shildt began the 2017 season as quality control coach on the Major League staff before taking over as third-base coach in June.

T
Shildt’s 41-28 record (.594 winning percentage) to finish out the 2018 season, tied with the Milwaukee Brewers and Colorado Rockies for the top mark in the National League from his appointment on July 15. He posted the best 40-game start by a Cardinals first year manager going 27-13. In August of 2018, the Cardinals were a Major League best 22-6 (.786), their first 22-win August since 1946 (22-9) and the team’s best record in the month of August since 1944 (25-8). Shildt’s efforts were recognized by BBWAA voters, earning him a 4th place finish in the 2018 N.L. Manager of the Year voting.
Prior to joining the Major League staff, Shildt had logged eight seasons as a minor league manager in the Cardinals organization, the most recent at the triple-A level with the Memphis Redbirds (2015-16). He compiled a career managerial record of 471-432 (.522) over his eight seasons in the minors, winning league championships in each of his three career playoff appearances.
Shildt served as a coach for the Pacific Coast League All-Star team in 2016 during the Triple-A All-Star Game that was held at BB&T Ballpark in his hometown of Charlotte, N.C.
Sixteen of his players off the Memphis roster made their Major League debuts during the 2015 and 2016 seasons. Shildt won his first league championship at Johnson City in the Appalachian League in 2010 and followed it up with another title in 2011. In his first season at double-A Springfield (2012), Shildt led the Cardinals to a team-record 77 wins and their first Texas League Championship defeating Frisco 3-1 after knocking off Tulsa 3-2 in the opening round. This marked his third consecutive title in his fourth year of managing in the minor leagues.
In 2011, Shildt’s Johnson City team set a short-season franchise record with 45 wins, just a year after tying the previous mark of 42. While at Johnson City, Shildt compiled a 124-77 (.617) record over three seasons, averaging 41 wins per season and guided the team to their first championship since 1976. In his first year at the helm of Johnson City (2009), he led the squad to their best record in 13 years (37-30), a year removed from serving as the hitting coach for the squad in 2008.
Shildt began every season from 2004-07 serving as an area scout and player development instructor before moving on to coach for a Cardinals short-season team, first as hitting coach at New Jersey in 2004-05, bench coach in State College in 2006 and position coach for Batavia in 2007.
Shildt earned the George Kissell Award in 2010 to add to his 2010 Appalachian League Manager of the Year award after his success at Johnson City as well as serving as the Cardinals Minor League Field and Spring Training Coordinator, a position he held from 2008-12. Shildt managed the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League to a 19-12 record in 2013, winning their final seven games, and finishing a half-game back of first place in the East Division.
Prior to joining the Cardinals, from 1999-2003, Shildt was an associate scout for the MLB Scouting Bureau and was head varsity coach at West Charlotte High School from 1994-96.
Shildt has five years of collegiate coaching under his belt, working as the hitting coach and recruiting coordinator at both UNC-Charlotte and UNC-Asheville.
Shildt, 51, is a 1991 graduate of UNC-Asheville with a degree in business and currently resides in Weddington, N.C. He was a three-year letter winner on the Bulldogs baseball team and grew up working for the Orioles double-A team in Charlotte with Cal Ripken, Jr., and Eddie Murray, performing clubhouse detail and working the scoreboard. He is also co-director of a Charlotte-based non-profit organization, Baseball for Life.
Shildt and his wife, Michelle, were married on March 6, 2020 in Jupiter, Fla.
