No matter how you slice it, 2025 has been a bounce-back year for St. Louis Cardinals slugger Nolan Gorman.
Coming into the season, Gorman was one of the poster children for "runway," but his work with new hitting coach Brant Brown over the offseason had yet to produce the results the club was looking for, so Gorman began the 2025 campaign out of the Cardinals' everyday lineup.
Even as the months went on and Gorman began to heat up at the plate in limited opportunities, the Cardinals seemed reluctant to increase his playing time all that much.
