Rotoworld Player News

Nolan Gorman

STL 2nd Baseman #16

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Nolan Gorman went 1-for-3 with a solo home run against the Pirates on Thursday.

Gorman remains as all-or-nothing as any hitter, as he’s now got a .751 OPS in 17 spring at-bats that is held up entirely by two homers. He’s batted third or fourth in all of his Grapefruit League contests to date, but we wouldn’t pencil him in for that kind of role just yet. He’s a risky NL-only pick at the moment.
Dustin May

STL Starting Pitcher #3

Dustin May threw three shutout innings against the Pirates on Thursday, allowing just one hit.

The good news is that he averaged 94.5 mph with the sinker, a 1.6 mph bump from last year. The bad news is he only struck out one batter and managed just one whiff on 16 swings against his two main pitches. Still, as far as Grapefruit League debuts go, it’s hard to wave away the results. May could be interesting this year if he maintains this level of velocity.
Matthew Liberatore

STL Starting Pitcher #32

Matthew Liberatore yielded two runs in 3 1/3 innings and struck out five Wednesday versus Nicaragua.

Liberatore’s fastball velocity last time out was up one mph from last year. Today, it started in that range, but quickly dropped off, leaving him with a 93.4 mph average that was 0.5 mph under last year’s average. His spin rates were all a bit down as well. Let’s see how he bounces back next time out.
Richard Fitts

STL Starting Pitcher #35

Richard Fitts pitched three scoreless innings with four strikeouts in relief Wednesday against Nicaragua.

Fitts wasn’t quite as strong today as he was last time out, but his 96.6-mph average with his fastball was still a little higher than last year’s average. He should be right in the mix for the fifth spot in the Cardinals’ rotation.
Ivan Herrera

STL Catcher #48

Iván Herrera went 2-for-2 with a steal against Nicaragua on Wednesday.

Herrera caught today for the second time this spring. It’s not totally clear yet on whether the Cardinals see him catching once or twice per week or potentially starting over Pedro Pagés the majority of the time. Either way, he’ll be in the lineup as a DH when he’s not catching.
Thomas Saggese

STL Infield #25

Thomas Saggese went 2-for-3 with a homer as Team Italy beat the Cubs 9-4 on Tuesday.

Italy also got homers from Kyle Teel and Owen Ayers, a Cubs prospect who was borrowed for the day. Between the Ramón Urías signing and JJ Wetherholt’s hot start, Saggese is facing increased competition to make the Cardinals. The team probably wouldn’t carry both Wetherholt and Saggese unless there was fairly regular playing time available for both.
Jurrangelo Cijntje

STL Starting Pitcher

Cardinals optioned RHP Tekoah Roby to Triple-A Memphis; reassigned LHP/RHP Jurrangelo Cijnte, LHPs Jared Shuster, Ixan Henderson, Zack Thompson, Pete Hansen, RHPs Sem Robberse, Austin Love, Hansel Rincón, C Graysen Tarlow and OF Mike Antico to minor league camp.

The first batch of cuts from Cardinals camp includes one of the more unique talents in Cijnte, a switch-pitching prospect acquired from the Mariners in the Brendan Donovan trade over the offseason. The 22-year-old ambidextrous phenom is significantly better from the right side where his fastball sits in the mid-to-upper 90’s with a plus sider. The fact that he can still operate from the left side is a nice wrinkle to have at his disposal but he’s probably going to wind up pitching exclusively from the right side at the highest level.
Andre Pallante

STL Starting Pitcher #53

Andre Pallante pitched three innings of one-run ball in the Cardinals’ 3-2 victory over the Marlins on Monday.

Pallante struck out two and had a successful outing even though his velocity is down by about two mph at the moment. He’s certain to be a part of the Cardinals’ rotation to begin the year, but he has a lot to prove after finishing 6-15 with a 5.31 ERA last year.
Scott Blewett

STL Relief Pitcher #67

Scott Blewett picked up a win after turning in a hitless ninth against the Marlins on Monday.

Blewett’s fastball averaged 93.4 mph while he was posting a 5.48 ERA in 44 1/3 innings for the Twins, Orioles and Braves last year. However, he was up to 94.7 mph in his first two outings this spring and 96.5 mph today. Even more impressive, he averaged 89.5 mph with his six sliders, a 5.5-mph gain from last year. He’s quickly becoming someone to watch in a St. Louis pen lacking an experienced closer.
JJ Wetherholt

STL Shortstop #87

JJ Wetherholt lost a homer to the wind while going 0-for-2 with a walk Monday against the Marlins.

Wetherholt’s drive to center in the third inning was hit 106.8 mph with a 35-degree launch angle, earning it a 430-foot projection from Statcast. The wind, though, howled “not today, rook.” Wetherholt is now 3-for-10 with six walks this spring.
