The St. Louis Cardinals refreshed the upper tier of their farm system by trading for Rays prospect, Matthew Liberatore. Liberatore joined the Cardinals as the number three prospect in the system behind one of his friends, Nolan Gorman.
Gorman came out of the gates flying after being drafted by the Cardinals at the ripe age of just 18. In his first season, he hit 17 combined homers in just 63 games against leagues where he was between two and four years younger than all of his opponents.
We knew Gorman would struggle at some point and that he couldn’t be this good in the Minors forever, and in his second season, he saw some adversity but it was an overall productive year for him.
