Promoted to Double-A
Jordan was promoted to Double-A Portland this week, Chris Hatfield of SoxProspects.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Jordan put up great numbers in a return trip to High-A Greenville, and he was particularly dominant of late. The 20-year-old first baseman hit .362/.434/.586 with seven home runs, a 10.9 percent walk rate and a 12.6 percent strikeout rate in his last 39 games for the Drive. Jordan's stark splits (.892 OPS vs. RHP, 1.088 OPS vs. LHP) will be worth tracking against Double-A pitching, but he's one of the youngest hitters at the level, so some initial growing pains can be expected.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Pushing for Double-A promotion
Red Sox chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom suggested this weekend that Jordan could soon be promoted to Double-A Portland, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports. "He's got our attention," said Bloom. "He just keeps hitting."
ANALYSIS
Jordan has some work to do on the defensive side -- especially at third base -- but the 20-year-old corner infielder carries a robust .328/.386/.539 batting line with 10 home runs, 20 doubles and 47 RBI through 63 games this season at High-A Greenville. He was a third-round pick in the 2020 MLB Draft out of a high school in Mississippi and holds a .306/.371/.492 slash line in 912 career minor-league plate appearances.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2021
Jordan has a track record of destroying lefties and being so-so against same-handed pitching, yet he does so much damage against southpaws that his overall stat lines look pretty stellar. As a righty-hitting first baseman/designated hitter, he needs to prove he can do enough damage against right-handed pitchers to avoid being a dreaded short-side platoon bat. He still registers high-end exit velocities (33.3 Hard%) and has been young for every level he has played. Jordan's 18.0 K% and 9.2 BB% as a 19-year-old at Single-A and High-A should be taken seriously, although there are public reports suggesting he struggles to hit mid-90s velocity. We could be talking about an average hitter with plus-plus power if it all comes together. His complete lack of defensive utility will probably lead to him being unsung on real-life prospect rankings until he is nearly big-league ready, assuming he stays on this current trajectory.
