“Baby Bo” is a name given to him by veteran scouts who remember two sport All-Star/All-Pro, Bo Jackson. At 6-foot, 220-pounds, and with amazing athleticism, the right-handed hitting outfielder produces top-of-the-scale bat speed. His massive raw power has produced a 118 mph in-game exit velocity this season which translates to 80-grade. This is Aaron Judge territory for raw power. After a stellar freshman campaign that saw him hit .307 with 10 home runs, Jordan also struck out at a 25% clip. There is length to his swing with oodles of bat speed, but without major adjustments, it doesn’t look like he is going to make enough consistent contact to be considered in the first round this summer as a sophomore draft-eligible. He has greatly improved his power production with an ISO increase from .268 to .435, but his strikeout rate still hovers around 25%. He does have good enough balance, but loads/strides late, and there is too much up/down head movement in his swing. He also did not seem to identify pitches very well and he especially struggles with off-speed and outer third plate coverage. On a brighter note, Jordan is a plus defender in the big field with plus range. He also showed plus raw arm strength with developing accuracy. Overall, Jordan boasts top-of-the-first-round tools to go along with his current .380/.521/.815 line of production. However, two of the main determinants of hitting success at the pro level are ISO and strikeout rate. Jordan has the desired ISO, but his swing/miss remains a high concern.

USA CNT: The to-be sophomore 2024 draft-eligible Jordan has more tools than polished skills and needs a more consistent plan at the plate. He does have crazy-good bat speed with massive power and athleticism and to some he’s the closest athlete to Bo Jackson that college baseball has seen in a long time. With a solid freshman season (.307 with 10 home runs) his polish is coming along as he just needs continued game reps. A day one of the trials leg injury slowed his progress and limited his plate appearances to just two; one walk, one strikeout.
