In February, Diamondbacks infielder Jordan Lawlar noted that consistency is what he needed to make the big leagues his permanent residence.

 

No. 6 pick of the 2021 draft, No. 8 MLB prospect, 13 games in the majors and one World Series appearance — His time might be soon.

 

“Continue to come in everyday and get better at every facet of the game,” Lawlar told MLBbro.com in Feb. “Be consistent and that will lead to more games on the big team side and that’s where we all want to be.”

He may be four years in without a 40-man roster move, but he’s met expectations since his arrival out of Jesuit Prep High School in Dallas.

 

Injuries hindered his 2023 campaign, but he’s retooled after playing winter ball in the Dominican league.

 

He’s not just been consistent, but he’s improved in every facet.

 

Exclusively playing with the triple-A Reno Aces this season, Lawlar is leading the team amongst qualified hitters with a .357 batting average and 12 stolen bases in 31 games. It’s a jump from his 2024 .318 batting average split between triple-A, double-A and the rookie leagues.

 

With 30 RBI’s, he’s set to smash his career-high with 67 RBI’s (105 games) in 2023.

 

Lawlar earned him Pacific Coast League Player of the Month after a historic month. He led the league in runs scored, hits, total bases, extra base hits and slugging percentage. [a]Though he’s gone hitless in recent outings, he’s coming off a 12-game hitting streak.

Jordan Lawler Getting Big League Opporrunity Soon

Now, he’s on the brink of an MLB call-up. The Diamondbacks are sitting just around .500 so far, and Lawlar’s consistency may give a boost. It’s also his versatility that provides intrigue, spending most of the season at second base while the rest of his time is split between shortstop and third base.

 

It’ll be Lawalar’s time at one point or another. It’s a matter of when, not if.

 

It all depends on if he’s ready. Lawlar batted a .129 average in his first stint in the majors, but if his recent numbers tell the story, it isn’t a testament to who he truly is.

 

His spring training totals provide proof to this, batting .348 in 23 at-bats and two stolen bases. It’s a small sample size, but shows that Lawlar is on the right track.

 

If he sparks up another hot cord in May, Diamondbacks fans may get to know the Texas-born bro real soon.
