Nolan Gorman powers Cards past Braves with homer
by Chris Schommer | Cardinals Correspondent | Sun, Jul 21st 7:45am EDT
Nolan Gorman went 1-for-4 in the Cardinals' 9-5 victory over the Braves, contributing significantly with a home run and two RBI.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the highlight of a homer, Gorman's day was marred by three strikeouts, underscoring his ongoing struggles with contact. His season batting average sits at a modest .207, and his high strikeout rate of .379 continues to be a concern for fantasy managers. However, his power numbers, with 18 homers and 49 RBI through 91 games, provide some salvageable value, particularly in formats that reward power production. Gorman's ability to drive in runs and hit long balls keeps him relevant, but his high strikeout rate and low batting average might limit his appeal to deeper leagues or as a situational player against favorable pitching matchups.
