Scouting report

Lawlar is a complete prospect. He has terrific defensive hands, feet, and actions, enough arm strength for the left side of the infield, and advanced feel to hit and barrel control. He's similar to Cubs 2020 first rounder Ed Howard in that Lawlar is well-rounded and plays a premium position but isn't especially toolsy, but Howard had more physical projection while Lawlar's swing has more natural leverage and loft. Lawlar's ability to impact balls at the top of the strike zone will be valuable in a pro environment that features velo at the letters.
