Timeline
Jason Louis Motte (born June 22, 1982) is an American former professional baseball pitcher.
He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the St. Louis Cardinals, Chicago Cubs, Colorado Rockies, and Atlanta Braves.
He graduated from Valley Central High School in Montgomery in 2000 and played catcher on the varsity baseball team.
Valley Central is also the alma mater of former MLB pitcher Matt Morris.
He then attended Iona College in New Rochelle, New York.
At Iona, Motte could throw to second base from behind the plate as fast as 1.76 seconds, and was clocked at throwing 85 mph from this position.
While Motte never pitched for Iona, the school's pitching coach reported that, with shinguards on, Motte once released a 94 mph pitch from the mound at practice.
Despite his arm strength, Motte never threw a single pitch in a game in either high school or college.
The Cardinals drafted him as a catcher in 2003 and he converted to pitching in.
Cardinals selected Motte in the 19th round of the 2003 Major League Baseball draft as a catcher.
In 2003 with the Peoria Chiefs, in 48 games at catcher he committed four errors with five passed balls.
Early in his minor league career, he struggled as a hitter.
He batted .222 in 2003, .175 in 2004, and .176 in 2005.
On June 29, 2005, Motte went on the disabled list (DL) for a thumb fracture while playing for the High-A Palm Beach Cardinals.
Entering the 2006 season, Motte had compiled a .188 career batting average.
He also had just 21 walks, 13 doubles and four home runs in 209 minor league games as a catcher.
However, his arm strength and accuracy were difficult to ignore.
Motte threw out 53 of 109 would-be base stealers for a 49% rate.
He also recorded 160 assists in his first 181 games.
Spurred by the thumb injury, declining batting average, and conspicuous throwing abilities, Motte converted to pitching.
The results as a pitcher showed much more promise than attempting to become a Major League hitter.
Between State College and Quad Cities in 2006, Motte pitched his first 39 professional innings.
He struck out 38 batters and posted a 3.69 earned run average while allowing 10.6 hits per nine innings pitched.
The next season, he improved across the board.
Between Palm Beach and Springfield, he totaled 59 innings, 69 strikeouts, a 1.98 ERA, and 6.6 hits per nine innings.
That performance made him one of the Cardinals' top pitching prospects and the Cardinals added him to their 40-man roster in early December 2007 to avoid exposing him to the Rule 5 draft.
Motte spent the majority of the 2008 season with the Memphis Redbirds, the St. Louis Cardinals' Triple-A farm team in the Pacific Coast League.
His abilities as strikeout pitcher became even more prominent: in 66 2⁄3 innings, he struck out 110, a rate of 14.8 strikeouts per nine innings pitched.
The Cardinals called Motte from the minor leagues on September 2, 2008.
He recorded a total of 12 appearances, all in relief, with an ERA of 0.82 in his first month in the big leagues.
In 11 innings, Motte struck out 16 batters, allowing three walks and five hits.
He earned his first save on September 18 against Cincinnati in their ballpark, getting the final out in the ninth inning with a fly ball to left field.
During the 2009 spring training camp, Motte competed with Ryan Franklin and Chris Perez in an attempt to earn the role as the Cardinals' 2009 closer; manager Tony La Russa later said he would not establish a closer.
Instead, he would use a mix of relievers in the ninth inning.
Motte played a key role in the 2011 World Series championship run, saving five postseason games.
In 2012, he led the National League (NL) in saves with 42.
Motte had Tommy John surgery to repair an ulnar collateral ligament injury that kept him from playing all of 2013.
After returning to the Cardinals midway through the 2014 season, Motte signed a one-year, $4.5 million deal with the Cubs for 2015.
Motte was born in Port Huron, Michigan.
His father, James, worked for Wheelabrator Technologies and moved the family around several times during Motte's childhood including stops in Shreveport, Louisiana, Shelton, Connecticut, Pueblo, Colorado, Pensacola, Florida and, ultimately, Montgomery, New York.
