2024 Fantasy Outlook
Westburg was one of a host of top young prospects to see action with the Orioles in 2023, receiving a promotion in late June. His playing time with the American League East champs was sporadic, as he wound up starting 53 of 86 games (62 percent). Westburg did start seven of the final 10 regular-season contests and all three games of the Orioles' ALDS loss to the Rangers, so his playing time was trending up late in the year and he should be in line for regular starts in 2024. The 25-year-old popped 27 homers in the minors in 2022 and 18 in 67 games with Triple-A Norfolk in 2023 before his promotion, but he managed just three long balls in 68 games with Baltimore while dealing with the cavernous left field at Camden Yards. Westburg's average exit velocity (90.2 mph) and hard-hit rate (44.5 percent) were good, and his sprint speed (88th percentile) was better. The plate discipline, though, needs work. Read Past Outlooks
Starting at DH on Opening Day
Westburg will serve as the Orioles' designated hitter and No. 6 batter in Thursday's season opener against the Angels.
ANALYSIS
The Orioles are going with Jorge Mateo at second base and Ramon Urias at third while Westburg slides into the DH spot versus lefty Patrick Sandoval. Westburg seems likely to play the field often when the opposition has a righty on the mound, with Ryan O'Hearn or Ryan Mountcastle serving as the DH those days.

How does Jordan Westburg compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Westburg has average to above-average tools across the board and can play anywhere on the infield. He doesn't have any one tool that will carry his fantasy value, so he needs to be playing every day and compiling stats across the board to be mixed-league viable. Westburg's 31.2 Hard% and propensity to lift and pull allowed him to produce a .261/.353/.491 slash line with 27 home runs in 138 games across Double-A and Triple-A. He has above-average speed and stole 12 bases on 15 attempts. His 21.8 K% at Triple-A was his best mark as a pro. It's unclear when Westburg will be given a shot as an everyday player, but the Orioles are very high on him and probably feel vindicated for taking him 30th overall in 2020. Jorge Mateo, Ramon Urias, Connor Norby and Joey Ortiz also linger as middle infielders capable of playing every day for Baltimore in 2023, and there is only room for two or three of these five.
