Nolan Gorman News
St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Nolan Gorman played the hero in Monday's 5-3 win over the Diamondbacks. Gorman was called upon to pinch-hit in the bottom of the ninth inning with the game tied 3-3, no outs, and a runner on first. The 23-year-old crushed the first pitch he saw deep into the right-field seats to end the game. Fantasy managers expected power from Gorman this season, but he has struggled with a .179/.238/.372 slash line, three HR, and 10 RBI in 84 plate appearances. Hopefully, this HR can help get him going.
St. Louis Cardinals infielder Nolan Gorman continued his power surge in Tuesday's victory against the Philadelphia Phillies. The slugger went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and has now homered three times over the last three games. Gorman got off to a very slow start to open the season, but his power has shown up to remind managers as to why they picked him in the first place. Gorman is now hitting .222 with three homers and eight RBI. Power has never been a question with Gorman, but his career .232 batting average will hurt managers. The Cardinals also have Tommy Edman (wrist) on the 10-day injured list that could look to steal playing time from Gorman when he eventually returns. For now, playing time should not be an issue for Gorman and managers should enjoy the hot-bat that he swinging at the moment.
St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Nolan Gorman is back in the starting lineup Wednesday to take on San Diego Padres right-hander Joe Musgrove. Gorman got a breather on Tuesday in a 5-2 win over Yu Darvish and the Padres but will man the keystone out of the five-hole on Wednesday. The 23-year-old is off to a slow start as he's 4-for-23 (.217) with a double and a walk alongside 11 punchouts across 24 trips to the plate. He homered 27 times with seven stolen bases in 119 games last season, making him a key fantasy asset from the second-base position as ATC projects an identical 27 homers and seven steals in the 2024 campaign.

While there were some bumps along the way, Nolan Gorman put up a solid sophomore season, slashing .236/.328/.478 with 76 RBI, 59 runs, seven stolen bases, and a team-leading 27 home runs through 119 games. His raw power was apparent this season, with a 16.5% barrel rate and .484 xwOBAcon (97th percentile for both marks). But, his poor contact skills were also quite apparent, as his 31.9% strikeout rate and 35.5% whiff rate ranked in the bottom 6% of the league. There are flaws outside his hitting, with a 26.5 ft/sec sprint speed and -2 OAA at second base. At this point, it is easy to pencil him in as a mediocre swing-for-the-fences DH, but the 23-year-old still has room to grow. He improved dramatically at the plate and in the field in 2023 (-12 OAA, 32.9% strikeout rate, and 31.1% chase rate in 2022), and a .354 xwOBA proves he'll ultimately grade out as an above-average hitter. While still a work in progress in many respects, Gorman is a bonafide steal at his 192.7 ADP.
