The Cardinals struggled to secure a right-handed outfield bat this offseason, with interest in players like Austin Hays and Harrison Bader failing to result in signings. However, Nelson Velázquez, who excelled in spring training with a .333 average and four homers, appears set for the Opening Day roster. Nathan Church also impressed with a .286 spring average, while Nolan Gorman seeks consistency after mechanical adjustments, hitting .250 with three homers this spring. With increased opportunities, Gorman aims to solidify his role as a productive player moving forward.
