Nick Gordon's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

The Baltimore Orioles announced on Tuesday that they agreed to terms with free-agent infielder/outfielder Nick Gordon on a minor-league deal. Gordon will give the Orioles some extra utility depth in both the infield and outfield heading into spring training in February. The 29-year-old left-handed hitter was the fifth overall pick by the Minnesota Twins in 2014 out of a high school in Florida. He debuted in the big leagues in 2021 and has slashed .244/.283/.386 with a .669 OPS, 23 homers, 112 RBI, 21 stolen bases and 106 runs in 338 games over his four seasons. Last year he played in 95 games with the Miami Marlins and hit .227 (59-for-260) with eight homers, 32 RBI, five steals and 29 runs scored. Gordon's best season came in 2022, when he slashed .272/.316/.427 with nine homers, 50 RBI and six steals in 136 games. At best, he'll likely be a bench player for the O's.

Miami Marlins outfielder Nick Gordon had a day at the plate in Sunday's 12-3 victory against the Oakland A's. Gordon went 4-for-4 with one homer, two runs, and three RBI with one walk. The 28-year-old has had a rough start to the season, hitting .207 (17-for-82) with three doubles, four homers, eight runs, 15 RBI, four walks, and 17 strikeouts in 31 games this season. On Monday, Miami will start a three-game road trip against the Los Angeles Dodgers, bringing more challenges for the struggling team. Gordon does frequent the starting lineup but is mainly an option in NL-Only or deep-league formats.

Miami Marlins outfielderNick Gordon had an ideal game Sunday, smacking two hits and driving in three runs in Sunday's 10-3 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. He is slashing .200/.200/.550 in 20 at-bats, good for an OPS of .750 in 2024. Gordon was traded to the Marlins during the offseason. The 28-year-old's performance on Sunday could be a sign of things to come. The Marlins don't have much outfield depth, and that could allow Gordon to grasp an everyday job if he continues to stay hot. Look for Gordon to be in the lineup daily for a lowly Marlins team that has won one game this year.
