Plummer was considered one of the top prospects for the 2015 Major League Baseball draft and was selected 23rd overall by the St. Louis Cardinals. He signed on June 15, for a $2.124 million bonus. He spent his entire first season in minor leagues with the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League Cardinals, playing in 51 games and batting .228 with eight doubles, one home run, and 22 RBIs. Prior to the 2016 season, Baseball America ranked him as the eighth-best prospect in the Cardinals' system. He missed the entire 2016 season after surgery on his hand. He returned in 2017, playing for the Peoria Chiefs of the Class A Midwest League, posting a .198 batting average with four home runs and 17 RBIs in 92 games.
Plummer returned to Peoria in 2018, batting .205 with eight home runs and thirty RBIs in 104 games. In 2019, he played for the Palm Beach Cardinals of the Class A-Advanced Florida State League, slashing .176/.312/.294 with five home runs and 29 RBIs over 96 games.
Plummer began the 2021 season with the Springfield Cardinals of the Double-A Central. On July 8, he hit three home runs, including a two run walk-off, in a game against the Tulsa Drillers, becoming the second Springfield player ever (alongside Nolan Gorman) to hit three home runs in a single regular season game. St. Louis named him their Player of the Month for July after hitting .326 with six home runs, five doubles, one triple and 21 RBIs while reaching base safely in all 24 games for the month. On August 7, he set a Springfield record after reaching base in his 33rd straight game, passing Tommy Edman who reached 32 straight times in 2018. On August 23, after slashing .283/.404/.489 with 13 home runs, 46 RBIs, and 17 doubles over ninety games, he was promoted to the Memphis Redbirds of the Triple-A East.
