With most of the talk about the Orioles’ 2020 draft concerning their surprise No. 2 pick of outfielder Heston Kjerstad (good news about him arrived yesterday, by the way), somewhat lost in the scuffle was Baltimore’s selection at No. 30. But maybe it’s time to starting paying the Orioles’ No. 6 prospect, Jordan Westburg, a little more attention. With power, a plus arm, and plenty of athleticism, the 22-year-old shortstop has the potential to evolve into a starting infielder sometime quite soon.
Born February 18, 1999, Westburg graduated from New Braunfels High School in Texas (between San Antonio and Austin), where he played baseball, basketball, and football.
