Jordan Lawlar Cranks First Cactus League Home Run Of 2025
22 seconds agoArizona Diamondbacks shortstop prospect Jordan Lawlar blasted his first home run of the spring in Wednesday's 7-1 Cactus League win over the Brewers. The two-run home run was the only hit of the day for the 22-year-old, who is now 2-for-8 this spring. While it is always a welcome sight when your players perform well, the D-backs are probably even more thrilled just to see their former first-round draft pick and top prospect on the field this spring. Last year was a lost season for Lawlar, who battled injuries throughout the campaign and managed to play in only 23 games all year. With Arizona signing Geraldo Perdomo to a four-year extension this month, there isn't a need to rush Lawlar back to the big leagues, so he'll likely get more reps at Triple-A to begin the year. At some point, due to injury or underperformance on the part of one of the regulars, we'll see Lawlar back in the Show in 2025, and he offers 20/20 potential if given the proper opportunity. MLB's 11th-ranked prospect won't be drafted in most leagues but will be a strong stash candidate early on for managers who have extra room on their bench.
