[2022 #6 prospect Jordan Westburg - 2B/INF]

Is Jonathan Schoop with better plate discipline a fair comparison/expectation for Westburg?

[Jordan Westburg 2022]

Great game for Westburg tonight. 5-5 with a HR. OPS up to .877.

[Connor Norby 2022]

Norby has 2 HR so far tonight. OPS up to .925.

[Jordan Westburg 2022]

Westburg hit another homerun in the resumption of the suspended game from last night.

[Jackson Holliday 2022]

He hit his 1st homerun today. He also hit a double and walked.

[Bowie’s second half playoff drive]

Bowie’s lineup is almost all prospects and no organizational filler with Mayo back. This is the lineup tonight:

Norby

Cowser

Ortiz

Haskin

Prieto 

Mayo

Rhodes

Handley 

Welk 

I’d say Welk is the only non prospect in the lineup. They’re definitely fun to follow right now.

[Cade Povich 2022]

He’s listed as the starter for Aberdeen tonight on milb.com.

[Heston Kjerstad 2022]

The game he didn’t start in was the resumption of the suspended game from last night. He’s playing in tonight’s game that is currently in a rain delay.

Big day in the Bowie blowout, 3-5 with a HR, 2B, and a BB. 

OPS at Bowie up to .797.

Just a small correction. His OPS at Bowie is .904. His OPS on the year between Aberdeen and Bowie is .797.

[Heston Kjerstad 2022]

Kjerstad just hit another home run. He’s also struck out 4 times, but still nice to see him homer in back to back games.

[Heston Kjerstad 2022]

Kjerstad hit his 1st home run for Aberdeen tonight.

[Colton Cowser 2022]

Cowser just hit a grand slam.

[Colton Cowser 2022]

3-4 with 2 doubles and a walk tonight. OPS at 1.114.

[Which player would you be most/least excited about?]

Justin Armbruester is also having a pretty good year from last year’s draft.

[The FCL thread 2022]

I don’t know anything about Carlos Rodriguez, but he hit a home run today. His OPS is at .985. He only has 27 at bats, so it doesn’t mean much yet. He’s 18. 
 

De Los Santos hasn’t really gotten hot yet, but he’s showing good plate discipline with more walks than strikeouts (11 BB, 9 K in 49 at bats). That’s certainly a good sign.

[Colton Cowser 2022]

Home run for Cowser today in his first at bat. OPS up to .816.

[Terrin Vavra 2022]

3-4 with a walk today. He’s hitting .333 with an .866 OPS.

[Connor Norby 2022]

Norby had a good weekend. He went 2-4 with a walk and a home run today. He also hit a home run yesterday. His OPS is back over .800 at .807. He struggled for a little bit after coming back from getting hit in the face, but it looks like he’s getting hot now.

[Zach Peek 2022]

Good game for Peek today.

5 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 5 K

ERA down to 3.13.

[Jordan Westburg 2022]

3-4 with a HR and walk tonight. OPS up to .839.

[Isaac Bellony 2022]

He hit for the cycle today. OPS up to .858.

[Jordan Westburg 2022]

Despite the poor games yesterday, Westburg had a good week. 
 

.286 avg, .400 OBP, .619 SLG, 1.019 OPS, 4 2B, 1 HR, 21 AB, 4 BB, 12 K

https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=westbu000jor&type=bgl&year=2022

His strikeouts were high mainly due to yesterday’s games.

[Hudson Haskin 2022]

He also hit 3 doubles on opening day. Good to see him getting off to a great start especially with the power.
