Nolan Gorman Maintains High RBI Total Despite Early Season Hitting Slump

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Nolan Gorman is navigating a paradoxical start to the 2026 season. While he has struggled significantly at the plate and hasn't "really hit at all this year," he has managed to record a surprisingly high total of 18 RBIs. His defensive play and his role in the lineup following Jordan Walker have become points of discussion among observers. Despite the poor batting average, his ability to drive in runs remains a silver lining for the Cardinals' offense as they evaluate his production.
