SHOP NOLAN GORMAN ROOKIE CARDS
Nolan Gorman was drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals with the 19th overall pick in the 2018 MLB Draft. He attended Sandra Day O’Connor High School in Phoenix, AZ where he feasted on second-rate pitchers who had trouble getting the ball over the plate for strikes.
It took a while and a good number of homers in the minors before the Cardinals decided to call Gorman up. Nolan was worth the wait, however, as he is already mashing homers and driving in runs at the major league level like a veteran.

Investment Outlook
Nolan Gorman is a classic high-risk high reward type investment (actually moderate to high risk as he is a top 20 prospect). It’s a gamble but one that could pay off nicely. Generally speaking in this situation we only gamble with top 3 prospects i.e. Vlad Jr, Wander Franco, or Ronald Acuna Jr. are just some of the big names we have hammered pre-call-up in the past.
Are we going to do the same with Gorman? Pass. We hope Gorman turns out to be a great player and goes on to be an All-Star for the St. Louis Cardinals but as we just mentioned prospects outside the top 3 or so are just too risky and will cause a sharp decline in your long-term ROI.
If you want to gamble invest in Bobby Witt Jr. rookie cards as this kid is going to be an S. T. U. D.
