Introduction
The Diamondbacks drafted Jordan Lawler #6 overall in the 2021 draft. He is a top-100 prospect in baseball.
Although I’m confident he recovered his full capabilities, two injuries slowed down his development.
- In August of 2021, in his second game his shoulder was injured. He needed surgery to repair a posterior labrum tear.
- In October of 2022, his left scapula was fractured (hit by pitch injury).
“If you’re not able to be out there on the field getting those live game reps against higher competition, you’re not developing as fast as you should be.
