Jordan Westburg Should Build On A Strong 2024 Season
3 days agoJordan Westburg fashioned a strong season for the Baltimore Orioles in 2024, sneaking up on fantasy players a bit. Westburg hit .264 with 18 home runs, 63 RBI, 57 runs, and six stolen bases before breaking his hand in early August. He missed almost the rest of the season, coming back only for the final week. If we look at his work before the All-Star Break, we see a player on the potential verge of stardom: Westburg hit .271 with 15 home runs, 50 RBI, 46 runs, and all six of his stolen bases. With health, he could easily be a 20 home run/20 stolen base player with multi-positional eligibility at second and third base. His current ADP of 97 puts him as a mid-seventh-round pick in snake drafts making him the fifth second baseman off the board, and the seventh third baseman off the board. Westburg is not sneaking up on anyone as he did last year, and if you want to roster him, you are going to have to pay the price.
