Re: The Nolan Gorman Mega Thread
I keep seeing him called 19 in reports/articles, but he's not yet? born 5/10/2000, so he's 18; won't turn 19 for another month
anyways...moved up a level and is off to this start...
AB - 21
H - 10
R - 8
TB - 21
2B - 3
3b - 1
HR - 2
RBI - 8
BB - 2
SO - 6
line is 476/542/1000; so, that's an OPS of 1.542
and again...he's 18...in class A ball

Re: The Nolan Gorman Mega Thread
Are they considering this his age-19 season?

I would consider it his age 19 season, as a wholemikechamp wrote:Are they considering this his age-19 season?
I'm just referring to articles where I've seen writers saying they're amazed a 19 year old is doing this and that...but he's not 19 for another month
semantics, I know...but just to point out he is STILL only 18, makes it even more amazing how good he is

Re: The Nolan Gorman Mega Thread
nice tidbit in that article as well, about 20 year old prospect Carlson that's already in AA Springfield...
Carlson had a three-hit game Saturday with three RBIs. In the S-Cards' first five games, he's hitting .368/.391/.737 with a homer and three extra-base hits.

Re: The Nolan Gorman Mega Thread
This jumped out at me:
https://www.baseball-reference.com/play ... ch02.shtml
That projects out to 45 HRs and 193 Ks in 160 games. I'm not a fan of Ks, but I'll make an exception for a ~1.000 OPS with over 40 bombs. He'd be slightly better than Chris Davis (in his prime, 3rd place MVP) numbers w/r/t Ks (199), but slightly less on OPS (1.004) and a decent amount lower on HRs (53).In his first 68 games in the minors, Gorman has hit .306/.393/.605 with 52 RBIs. He has 82 strikeouts and 79 hits in 258 at-bats.
