Could Jordan Lawlar Be the Diamondbacks’ Next Superstar? Triple-A Sensation’s Rapid Rise Sparks Excitement
Monday brought a fresh surge of hope for the Arizona Diamondbacks as they welcomed their highly touted prospect Jordan Lawlar back to the big league stage. In the heat of a tight National League West scramble, the D-backs didn’t just stop there—they also reinstated reliever Kendall Graveman, who’s been sidelined all season with a nagging lumbar strain. With a solid 21-20 record, Arizona’s looking to shake things up and climb the divisional ladder.
Lawlar, a versatile 22-year-old dynamo, is no stranger to juggling duties—he’s expected to slot in at second, shortstop, and third base, having ripped through Triple-A Reno with a .336 average, sprinkled with six homers, 31 RBIs, and 13 stolen bases. Though his 2023 big league cameo was brief, it showed flashes of the potential that first grabbed scouts’ attention when he was selected sixth overall back in 2021. Injuries may have slowed him down last season, but the Diamondbacks are clearly banking on his rebound to fuel their charging effort. Meanwhile, roster moves mean the departure of infielder Garrett Hampson and reliever José Castillo to make room for this shakeup.
