Midwest League Managers

Brian Rupp

Two Midwest League seasons:

Manager, Burlington [Royals] (2008)
Manager, Peoria [Cardinals] (1999)

Playing Career

Drafted/Signed: Cardinals, 43rd round, 1992 (Shortstop, University of Missouri-St. Louis).
Professional Career: Seven minor league seasons, entirely in the St. Louis organization; played at all levels except the MWL and the big league club.

Management style

Rupp's teams have generally been quite aggressive on the basepaths, and more successful than not. He's otherwise a conventional manager.
