Jordan Lawlar is a fantasy baseball SS prospect sleeper and minor leaguer to know. Read our MLB prospects outlooks for fantasy baseball rookies and call-ups.
PROSPECT: Jordan Lawlar, SS, Arizona Diamondbacks
ANALYSIS: Last week, I didn't believe there was a high chance that Jordan Lawlar would be up with Arizona this season. Now I'm starting to think he might.
Lawlar was recently promoted to Triple-A after slashing .263/.366/.474 with 23 doubles, 15 home runs, and 33 steals in the Double-A Texas League. And if you look at his numbers since May 25, Lawlar slashed .316/.405/.551 with 10 home runs and 22 steals in 55 games.
VERDICT: Long-term, Lawlar's upside is a top-10 fantasy shortstop with the ability to exceed 20 home runs and 30 steals annually thanks to his above-average power and plus or better speed.
He'd be a highly coveted fantasy target if he gets the call, and I'm not ruling out a September call-up similar to what Arizona did with Corbin Carroll last season. Do they really want to keep rolling with the uninspiring duo of Geraldo Perdomo and Nick Ahmed at shortstop as the fight for a wild car spot?

Chandler Simpson - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Waiver Wire Stashes (Week 12)
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues CALL-UP ETA: July ANALYSIS: Unlike many players currently in the minor leagues, Chandler Simpson has proven he can be a valuable fantasy player at the MLB level. In his time in the majors, he hit .285 with 19 stolen bases in 35 games. Unfortunately, being a valuable fantasy player […]
Brady House - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Waiver Wire Stashes (Week 12)
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues CALL-UP ETA: June ANALYSIS: The Nationals went viral on social media this week for making a fun call-up. They called up their bat dog from Triple-A. While this was very cute and should improve the vibes a little bit in Washington, I don't think Bruce the Bat Dog will help […]
Samuel Basallo - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Waiver Wire Stashes (Week 12)
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues CALL-UP ETA: June ANALYSIS: Samuel Basallo might be the best hitter in the minors right now, and he has catcher eligibility. What more do you need to know (I know catcher is super deep this year, but still)? Basallo has been an age-to-level monster for the majority of his pro […]
Andrew Painter - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Waiver Wire Stashes (Week 12)
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues CALL-UP ETA: June ANALYSIS: Painter's last two starts don't give a ton of confidence that he is ready to be in the majors. It may not even be before the All-Star break before we see him, but that does not mean we are in stash territory. The good news is, […]
Colby Thomas - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Waiver Wire Stashes (Week 12)
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues CALL-UP ETA: July ANALYSIS: The A's continue to lose, and Colby Thomas continues to hit homers in Triple-A. The A's just got swept by the Angels, bringing their record to 26-44. While plays like Denzel Clarke's HR robbery can generate a spark for a team, the A's might need […]
