BA#189
189. Jordan Weems, c
Columbus (Ga.) HS
Weems has taken advantage of his bloodlines, his own improved play, the down
year in Georgia and the dearth of catching to jump up draft boards. He helped
lead Columbus High to a state championship in 2010, and he helped the team
reach the state 3-A semifinals this season. He hopes to become the third
member of his family to get drafted, joining father Rick (1980, 15th round,
Cardinals) and brother Chase (2007, sixth round, Yankees). Weems is tall and
lanky at a listed 6-foot-3, 180 pounds, and lacks present strength. Scouts
have to project his hitting ability and power because of his lack of
physicality. His arm gets easy above-average grades, and he posts
sub-2.0-second pop times. He's a decent receiver now who projects to be
average with more strength. Weems is committed to Georgia State.
