PNW State Games Spotlight - '27 INF Colson Swartz
January 21, 2026
As we move through the offseason, Prep Baseball Oregon continues our series of State Games Spotlights. This series aims to highlight standout performers at our top invite-only 2025 PNW State Games event. Prep Baseball spotlights aim to showcase players that Prep Baseball Scouts felt showed standout tools, large improvements in overall game, or potential upside moving forward. College coaches and recruiters should be sure to keep an eye on these prospects in the coming months.
Today, we spotlight '27 INF Colson Swartz. The junior from Silverton High School was seen at the Corvallis Preseason ID early in 2025 before securing an invite to State Games in the summer.
A compact-framed athlete, Swartz's showcases were highlighted by low-90's exit velocities from the left side and a 7.1 second run time. Below is a complete prospect profile breakdown.
