Nolan Gorman

This one is pretty easy. Nolan Gorman is becoming a superstar before our very eyes.

In 42 games, Gorman is slashing .302/.391/.640 with 13 HR and 39 RBI while hitting in the middle of the Cardinals order. Fans have always known that Gorman boasts elite power, but it is the way that he has rounded out his weaknesses that makes him so special right now.

Gorman has cut down his strikeout rate significantly, raised his batting percentage and walk rate, and is now doing damage with pitches that he has struggled with throughout his career. He is now coming through in the biggest spots in games and is mashing against left-handed pitching too.

A powerful left-handed bat with elite on-base skills that is clutch and can now hit lefties too? Yeah, that dude is s a stud. Gorman certainly has superstar potential in him and he is playing up to that talent right now.
