Nolan Gorman has plenty to prove after a difficult 2026 campaign, but a new training video is giving the St. Louis Cardinals fans a glimpse of what he is working on ahead of next season.

Driveline Baseball shared footage of the infielder taking swings during a session focused on improving his mechanics and consistency at the plate. The short clip shows Gorman working in an indoor batting cage as HitTrax data tracks his swings.

Several readings show exit velocities above 90 mph, while coaches provide immediate feedback on his results. The session also features drills designed to help him make adjustments and produce more consistent contact.

Driveline’s hitting coordinator Jacob Hirsh leads the work shown in the video, using drills and constraints to help Gorman refine his swing. Although the footage does not guarantee a turnaround, but just enough for the Cardinals fans to start hoping again.

Gorman struggled to establish himself in St. Louis this year, hitting .184 with nine home runs in 85 major league games. The Cardinals sent him to Triple-A Memphis in June, and he spent nearly 11 weeks in the minors before returning to the big-league roster in August.

His production did not improve significantly in Memphis, where he hit .182 with 13 home runs across 46 games. The power remained visible, but his difficulty making consistent contact continued to limit his offensive value.

The 26-year-old has shown what he can do when his bat is working. Gorman hit 27 home runs in 2023, his second major league season. It gave the Cardinals a reason to believe he could still develop into a productive power hitter.
