Jordan Westburg 2021

[Chaka Garcia]

Some things to ponder - Does his struggle at Bowie, lower his prospect status with his sub 200 batting average? Also, does the 14 homeruns indicate future power growth once he fills out?

He's 22 and listed at 6'3" 203.  How much do you expect him to fill out?

He’s heating up. Idk what is BABIP is, but he’s carrying a decent OPS considering he’s batting an interstate. 

[sportsfan8703]

OPS up to .635 in AA. Movin’ on up.

To the east side?

His OPS is. We want to have SS prospects. We want to see guys promoted. Then when Westburg and Gunnar “struggle” a bit, then it’s an issue Westburg is making a 3 level leap this year. Gunnar played a handful of games above HS before this year. 
 

Everyone slumps. These are big time prospects.

He’ll probably be at least 220 lbs. Depends on what they do with him positionally. Mountcastle put on some weight this past year, in his legs particularly.

If he's 220 does that move him off of short?

I would think it does.

Not sure. I see him as an athletic 3B, one who can cover a lot of ground with the current shift configurations. Tulowitzki was all that, ARod, Cal…IDK. Depends on where he adds the weight, what proportion. And I do not think he’ll add all of that next year. He may be more than his listed 203 right now. Those listed weights are often off by quite a bit.
