Scouting report

Jordan matured physically earlier than is typical and had already grown into impact power as a high school freshman and sophomore. Then he reclassified as a 2020 graduate, making him draft-eligible a year earlier and the youngest prospect available. He barreled older pitching on the showcase circuit and hit for in-game gap power despite a downward cutting swing, evidence that he has rare feel for the point of impact. He's played a mix of third and first base at big events and I have him projected as first base-only, though I think his hands are excellent and that he'll be quite good there. Scouts who saw Jordan in the Fall echoed my skepticism regarding his ability to stay at third base. Jordan's present power and feel for contact are really promising for someone his age. I'm not inclined to project on his raw power very much, even though he's only 17, because Jordan's frame is already relatively maxed out. He's a good version of a profile that I don't like very much.
