St. Louis Cardinals prospect and Memphis Redbirds catcher Andrew Knizner playing against the Missions at Wolff Stadium on Tuesday, April 9, 2019. – photo by Joe AlexanderMemphis Redbirds catcher Andrew Knizner is the No. 3 prospect in the St. Louis Cardinals minor league organization, according to a recent story on mlb.com.
The Redbirds are currently playing a three-game series with the San Antonio Missions at Wolff Stadium. The series continues tonight and Thursday with games scheduled for 7:05 p.m. (Central) both days.
Last season, Kninzer batted a combined .313 with seven home runs at Double-A Springfield and Triple-A Memphis.
Knizner played in college at North Carolina State. He was part of a Virginia high school state championship team at Hanover High School in Mechanicsville, Va.
Throughout this season I plan on posting photo galleries of San Antonio Missions players when the team is on the road.
I’ll also post photos of other organizations’ top prospects as they visit San Antonio.
