Jordan Lawlar Showing Why He Got Promoted
1 year agoArizona Diamondbacks shortstop prospect Jordan Lawlar went 2-for-3 with a walk on Wednesday for Triple-A Reno. The Diamondbacks top prospect was promoted to Reno three days ago and been off to a hot start. In his first two games, the 21-year-old has gone 3-for-7 with a homer, two runs, four RBI and three walks. Lawlar was dominant for Double-A Amarillo with a .263 batting average to go together with 15 home runs, 48 RBI and 33 stolen bases. With the Diamondbacks off to a slow start in the second half, Lawlar may be the piece they need to get back in the Wild Card race. With his ability to go to all fields with power and run the bases well, Lawlar has all the makings of a strong fantasy contributor. The promotion to Triple-A means that they are at least likely to consider giving him a promotion, in which case redraft managers should add him in most formats. In dynasty leagues, Lawlar should already be rostered for years to come.
