3RD ROUND Jordan Weems - 美國職棒

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.
