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.
