Nolan Gorman
#16 Active2026 Fantasy Baseball Player Profile
Nolan Gorman’s 2025 season was a frustrating continuation of the "all-or-nothing" profile that has defined his young career. In 111 games, Gorman slashed just .205/.296/.370 with 14 home runs and 46 RBI. While his power remains undeniable, his persistent 33.8% strikeout rate and a significant drop in barrel rate prevented him from sustaining any real offensive momentum. His campaign was further hampered by recurring health issues, including a right hamstring strain in April and lower back pain in July that led to multiple IL stints. Despite the struggles, he showed flashes of his ceiling with a torrid stretch in early June, but he spent much of the second half fighting to keep his spot in a crowded Cardinals infield.
The 2026 season represents a massive "make-or-break" opportunity for Gorman in St. Louis. Following the blockbuster offseason trades of Nolan Arenado and Brendan Donovan, the hot corner is officially his to lose. Cardinals president of baseball operations Chaim Bloom has confirmed that Gorman will have "plenty of opportunity" to secure the starting third base job, betting on the 25-year-old’s 30-homer potential over his recent contact issues. For fantasy managers, Gorman is a high-risk, high-reward power specialist with an ADP currently buried near 430. While his batting average and strikeout totals are major liabilities, the path to 500+ plate appearances is clearer than ever. He is a viable late-round gamble for those in need of cheap home runs, provided they can stomach the likely drag on team average.

AVG, OBP, SLG, ERA and WHIP are season-to-date through each game, not that game alone — so the column reads as a trend and its last value is the season figure. They stay season-to-date when the log is filtered by opponent; the figure for the filtered games is the one in the Total row. The second game of a doubleheader is marked (2).
