Moises Gomez

Don't sleep on Gomez. He put up a monster season between Double-A Springfield and Triple-A Memphis in 2022, smacking a combined 39 home runs to lead the minor leagues. The numbers fell off slightly after the step up in competition, but Gomez still had an .882 OPS with Memphis -- not bad for a player St. Louis signed as a minor-league free agent after he fizzled out with Tampa Bay. Gomez's strikeout rates against upper-level competition have been in the mid-to-high 30% range, and the swing-and-miss may simply be too much for him to overcome, but the 24-year-old put himself back on the radar as a legitimate big-league prospect with his power breakout last season. He can also run a little as evidenced by his 10 steals in 13 attempts, though he will likely be limited defensively to the outfield corners. The Cardinals added him to the 40-man roster in November.
