Blaze Jordan Worth Trusting in 12-Team Leagues?
St. Louis Cardinals infielder Blaze Jordan has held his own since arriving from Triple-A Memphis on June 12. The 23-year-old is batting .250/.264/.417 with one home run, three doubles, a triple, and 12 RBI through 14 games. Before getting the call, he hit .313/.373/.548 with 11 homers and 35 RBI over 57 games for Triple-A Memphis. St. Louis optioned Nolan Gorman in the corresponding move, and Jordan has received regular work at third base. Jordan has not taken over the league, but his early contact numbers are encouraging. He has struck out in only 9.4% of his plate appearances while posting a 45.7% hard-hit rate and 8.7% barrel rate. There are reasons to stay measured, as half of his batted balls have been on the ground, and his .234 xBA and .379 xSLG trail his actual results. With a Yahoo roster rate of just 8%, Jordan is worth adding in 12-team formats while his playing time remains steady.
