Widely regarded as the best power bat in the 2018 MLB Draft, Nolan Gorman exploded out of the gates in his career with the St. Louis Cardinals. After going 19th overall on draft day, Gorman played in 64 games between Johnson City and Low-A Peoria smashing 17 homers with a .949 OPS.
This did more than just put Gorman on prospect maps, it put them squarely in the middle of them. Before the 2019 season started, Gorman was ranked numbers 75, 61, and 34 by Baseball America, Major League Baseball, and Baseball Prospectus in terms of the best prospects in the sport.
