Tuesday, I gave myself a big ol' headache during an extensive homework session that examined Nolan Gorman's hitting profile? What does he do so well when he's hitting lightning-bolt home runs and looking confident at the plate? And when Gorman goes into a slump, why is often so drastic and extreme?
