[14] Lawlar was assigned to the Visalia Rawhide of the Low-A California League to begin the 2022 season.

[17] After batting .351 with nine home runs, 32 RBIs, and 24 stolen bases over 44 games, he was promoted to the Hillsboro Hops of the High-A Northwest League in late July.

[19] Lawlar played in thirty games for Hillsboro in which he hit .288 with three home runs, 17 RBIs, and 13 stolen bases before he was promoted to the Amarillo Sod Poodles of the Double-A Texas League.

[21] He was selected to play in the Arizona Fall League for the Salt River Rafters after the season.

[22] While with the Rafters, Lawlar suffered a fractured left scapula after being hit by a wayward pitch from Baltimore Orioles prospect Nick Richmond, and was ruled out for six–to–eight weeks.

The injury stemmed from an incident in which he had suffered a ruptured UCL trying to pick up a ball during a spring training game.
