MLB: The Cardinals super prospect who would make his GL debut in 2022

While the St. Louis Cardinals looking to add more hitters this winter, Nolan gorman He could be the last local prospect to emerge at the major league level. However, it is not yet clear if Gorman will need more Triple-A experience before making his MLB debut, as he stated. Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak:

From an offensive point of view, we are really encouraged by what we are seeing. “

He also noted that Gorman looked good at second base this season after previously playing only as third baseman.

Gorman hit .279 / .333 / .481 with 25 home runs in 523 accumulated plate appearances in 2021: an .862 OPS in 195 at-bats for Double-A Springfield and then a .785 OPS in 328 at-bats for Triple-A Memphis.

Gorman’s bat, the 19th overall pick in the 2018 draft, appears to provide a nice complement at second base with Tommy Edman, as Edman has provided excellent glove work but unsatisfactory offense the past two seasons.

However, barring a major rookie breakout, Gorman himself isn’t believed to provide the offensive boost the Cardinals need, and Hochman wonders if moving shortstop Paul DeJong for a better hitter would be the answer.

My cycle there ended in July 2019 and after a few days, El Debate gave me another opportunity to work and opened the doors for me again. That is how I came to Al Bat, where I have been since 2019 as a web journalist.
