Jordan Lawlar Looking Comfortable in Move to Center Field
According to Nick Piecoro of AZCentral.com, Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Jordan Lawlar has looked quite comfortable in his move to center field. Peicoro noted that the early impressions are quite positive and that the former top prospect is getting "quick jumps" and is "showcasing his strong arm" in his position. With the Diamondbacks having a crowded infield due to the emergence of Geraldo Perdomo and the trade for Nolan Arenado, Lawlar's best chance of seeing everyday at-bats is now in the outfield. Last summer, Lawlar appeared in just 28 games with the Diamondbacks and posted a .182/.257/.288 line. However, across 91 career games at Triple-A, Lawlar has looked quite productive, posting a .328/.414/.576 line with 18 home runs and 24 stolen bases. Managers in deeper leagues should continue to monitor his progression in camp, as he could become the team's center fielder over Alek Thomas.
