Adam
Swanson

Swanson stood out early and often on Friday at the plate, going 2-for-2 with a triple, walk, and four RBIs from the right side. He has a balanced setup with a short stride and loose hands that create a level bat path. Was on the barrel to both gaps. Someone to watch the rest of the weekend.
