A freshman starting on a team that has high expectations this spring immediately catches your attention. Then you watch Swafford in the box and you see why. Shows a very advanced approach for a player his age in that he doesn’t chase bad pitches and sticks to his plan at the plate. The swing itself is controlled and rhythmic with present bat and hand speed. He manages to keep the barrel on plane through zone on a consistent basis and spoiled seven pitches in pitchers counts. Finished only with one hit in the game - a hard hit line drive to center field - but showed the tools that will make one of the better players in his class.
