Jordan Lawlar Surging At Triple-A
Arizona Diamondbacks infield prospect Jordan Lawlar went 2-for-5 on Sunday for Triple-A Reno, collecting a hit in 12 straight games in which he's started (he was 0-for-1 as a pinch hitter during that stretch). In those 12 games alone, the 22-year-old is 24-for-51 (.471) with seven doubles, two triples, four home runs, 17 RBI, 17 runs scored, eight stolen bases, and a 10:10 BB:K. Now slashing a robust .356/.451/.644 on the year, the team has played him at second base the most, along with starts at third base, shortstop, and once at designated hitter. The versatility will serve him well with Ketel Marte, Geraldo Perdomo, and Eugenio Suarez blocking a full-time role for him at those defensive spots. MLB's 10th-ranked prospect is going to force his way onto the roster in the near future, though, and should be a strong five-category producer, so fantasy managers should be stashing him away ahead of time.
