Top Prospect Jordan Lawlar Leads Jesuit Dallas - Vanderbilt Commit Has Attention of MLB Scouts

March 14, 2021
Jesuit Dallas shortstop Jordan Lawlar leads the 2021 high school baseball class as a potential top-five MLB Draft pick.

Jordan Lawlar is the consensus top high school baseball prospect in the 2021 class. The Jesuit Dallas shortstop combines elite bat speed, defensive range, and baseball instincts that have made him a projected top-five selection in the MLB Draft.

Lawlar is committed to Vanderbilt, one of college baseball's premier programs, but the professional route appears likely given his draft position. His five-tool potential has scouts comparing him to other elite prep shortstops who went early in the first round.
