2025 Player Outlook
The team wants to get Nolan Gorman a bunch of at-bats in 2025, and their president of Baseball Operations, John Mozeliak, mentioned the number 600! That could be encouraging for fantasy purposes, but there are a few problems with Gorman’s offensive profile. First and foremost, he’s struck out 34.1 percent of the time at the big-league level, and has a career .222 average, low-lighted by last year’s .203 mark. Additionally, he doesn’t hit left-handed pitching well at all. The St. Louis infield is rather crowded to begin the year, but if he were to win a job out of camp, he’ll play on the large side of a platoon, whether the majority of his ABs will come against right-handed pitching. The power is great, and he barrels up a ton of balls with a high fly ball rate, but the quantity of contact is underwhelming. He’s an upside pick in the later rounds.
Player News
Nolan Gorman delivered a go-ahead three-run double in the eighth inning on Tuesday night, propelling the Cardinals to a 10-4 victory over the Braves.
Gorman wasn’t even in the Cardinals’ original starting lineup on Tuesday, he was a late addition after Brendan Donovan was scratched due to soreness in his ribs. He made the most of the opportunity though, breaking a 4-4 tie in the eighth inning with his three-run double to right off of Enyel De Los Santos. That would be his lone hit in five at-bats on the evening. For the season, the 24-year-old slugger is now hitting .250/.317/.444 with one home run and seven RBI through his first 41 plate appearances.
Nolan Gorman is at second base and batting sixth for Sunday’s series finale against the Phillies.
Gorman will make his first start since being activated from the injured list earlier this weekend. The 24-year-old slugger still does plenty of damage against right-handed pitching, but his deficiencies against southpaws and lack of defensive versatility remain obstacles to a consistent everyday role.
Cardinals activated INF Nolan Gorman off the 10-day injured list.
Gorman is off the IL after the minimum 10-day stint. The Cardinals placed Masyn Winn (back) on the injured list in a corresponding transaction. Gorman should play against right-handers up the middle now that he’s healthy.
Cardinals placed INF Nolan Gorman on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to Apr. 2, with a strained right hamstring.
Gorman played in two of the Cardinals’ first six games, going 4-for-8 with a homer and a double. His temporary exit means Alec Burleson will go unchallenged for starts at DH against righties. Thomas Saggese takes his spot, though unlike Gorman, he’ll be used mostly against lefties.
