2025 Fantasy Outlook

A lot of the prospect shine has come off Lawlar due to a mounting injury history and some uncertainty about how much he'll hit at the highest level. Lawlar's season began with him getting optioned from big-league camp March 10, as Arizona didn't entertain the idea of him beating out Geraldo Perdomo for the everyday shortstop job and only wanted Lawlar on the big-league roster if he were going to play regularly. He had surgery for a torn ligament in his thumb in late March and returned within the initial 8-to-10 week timeline in early June. He went 8-for-20 with a home run, a triple and two doubles in his first four games with Triple-A Reno before suffering a Grade 1 left hamstring strain. Lawlar's recovery may have been rushed, as he aggravated the hamstring during his rehab assignment in early July and didn't return until mid-September. He played in 119 games in 2023 and 100 games in 2022, so while Lawlar has some major injuries on his ledger, the injury-prone tag wasn't applicable prior to 2024. His dynasty value is on a tipping point this offseason, as there are merits for buying low and for cashing out. He's a priority follow early in spring training. Read Past Outlooks

Arizona recalled Lawlar from Triple-A Reno prior to Monday's game against the Giants.

ANALYSIS
Arizona designated infielder/outfielder Garrett Hampson for assignment to open up a spot on the 26-man active roster for Lawlar, who is back in the big leagues for the first time since 2023. The 22-year-old hit just .129 over a 14-game sample with Arizona that season, then spent all of 2024 in the minors while missing considerable time due to a torn ligament in his thumb as well as a Grade 1 hamstring strain. Despite the injury-plagued season, Lawlar maintained his status as the Diamondbacks' top prospect, and he opened the 2025 campaign healthy and slashed .336/.413/.579 with six home runs and 13 steals in 37 games with Reno to push his way back onto the big-league roster. The Diamondbacks don't have an obvious everyday spot in the lineup available for Lawlar, but he's expected to pick up a handful of starts per week while rotating between second base, third base and shortstop after seeing time at all three positions with Reno this season.

Stat Review

How does Jordan Lawlar compare to other hitters?

This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.

* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2024

2023

2022

Lawlar had a really rough start to the minor-league season (.629 OPS, 31.7 K% in his first 32 games), but from May 23 on, he slashed .323/.411/.557 with 15 home runs, 26 steals on 30 attempts and a 16.1 K% in 300 at-bats across Double-A and Triple-A. He doesn't have elite raw power (109-mph max exit velocity at Triple-A), but Lawlar is great at barreling balls to the pull side, so he could end up with plus game power in his prime. Arizona promoted him to the majors in early September, and he played sparingly for the contending Diamondbacks, although all of his action came at shortstop. His numbers in 34 MLB plate appearances are awful: 32.4 K%, .129 AVG and zero extra-base hits. However, his smooth defense and elite speed (99th percentile sprint speed) were on display, and he won't turn 22 until July, so the upper-level minors performance is the main thing to focus on when projecting ahead. Lawlar, the sixth-overall pick in 2021, clearly projects as the team's shortstop of the future, but with Geraldo Perdomo coming off his best season (2.7 fWAR), there is some uncertainty about what the infield hierarchy will look like in early 2024.

Lawlar's Arizona Fall League was cut short after he suffered a fractured scapula, but on the whole, he showed superstar potential in his first full season and solidified himself as a top-five fantasy prospect. Considered by some evaluators to be the best prospect in the 2021 draft, Lawlar only played two games in complex ball that year due to a shoulder injury, but he climbed from Single-A to Double-A in 2022, showcasing elite athleticism, plus power and an advanced command of the strike zone. The 20-year-old shortstop hit .303/.401/.509 with a 25.1 K%, 12.4 BB%, 16 home runs and 39 steals in 100 games across four levels. He should open the year at Double-A and could be on the Corbin Carroll path, with a late-2023 big-league debut on the table if he performs as expected.

A viable commitment to Vanderbilt led to Arizona giving Lawlar the richest signing bonus ($6,713,300) of any hitter in last year's draft, despite the fact he was the fourth hitter off the board at sixth overall. A smooth, graceful athlete bursting with loud tools, Lawlar could play anywhere on the field, but he is a shortstop by trade. A plus runner with a chance to develop above-average power from the right side, the high schooler from Texas has a chance to be a 20-20 producer at peak. Lawlar has hit over .400 every year, but there have been some short stretches where strikeouts were an issue. One small knock on Lawlar is that he turned 19 on July 1. As with any prep hitter, we won't know how the hit tool will translate against pro pitching until he gets that opportunity, and he only played in two complex-level games (going 2-for-5 with a double, a steal, a walk and a strikeout) before suffering a season-ending shoulder injury. The surgery to repair a posterior labrum tear carries a recovery timeline that makes him questionable for the start of spring training. His defensive potential will keep the pressure off his bat, and his power/speed upside will keep him highly ranked on fantasy lists as long as he's making contact at a solid clip.
