St Louis Cardinals manager Mike Shildt has signed a three-year contract extension, the MLB franchise announced.
Shildt's new deal is through to the 2022 season after leading the Cardinals to the National League Championship Series.
The 51-year-old was hired as interim manager to replace Mike Matheny in July 2018 before being appointed on a permanent basis a little over a month later.
Shildt – whose initial contract ran through 2020 – led the Cardinals to a 91-71 record in 2019 and St Louis' first NL Central title since 2015.
The Cardinals defeated the Atlanta Braves in the NL Division Series before falling to eventual champions the Washington Nationals in the NLCS.
