Five months ago Nolan Gorman was in high school. While his classmates may have been making decisions about which college to attend, Gorman had another variable to consider: professional baseball.
When June 4 came around, Gorman was selected by the St. Louis Cardinals in June’s First-Year Player Draft. He signed six days later, foregoing his commitment to the University of Arizona.

“It’s been super quick, this summer kind of flew by,” Gorman said.
