Jordan Lawlar Continues To Make Case For Promotion
1 year agoArizona Diamondbacks shortstop prospect Jordan Lawlar went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run for Double-A Amarillo on Monday. The three-run blast was his 13th of the season to go along with 39 RBI, 26 stolen bases and a .243 batting average. The 21-year-old got off to a cold start in April and May, but got on a roll in June and finished the month with a .302 batting average, four homers, 11 RBI and 11 stolen bases. Throughout his time on the farm, Lawlar has helped across the board and has the makings of a fantasy superstar with some more seasoning and consistency. The Diamondbacks are competing and in one of the hardest divisions in baseball and that could lead to Lawlar skipping Triple-A and getting a ticket to the show in 2023. Lawlar's competition, All-Star, Geraldo Perdomo, has slowed down significantly since his hot start to the season. With the Diamondbacks not being shy about promoting young star prospects this season and competing, it wouldn't be a shock to see Lawlar be the next man up. He is worth a watch list or stash add in redraft leagues, while his best value remains in dynasty leagues.
