Swisher projects as a second baseman at the next level. He shows quick, fluid footwork. He registered a velocity of 76 mph across the infield. At the plate, the right-handed hitter uses a balanced setup and small leg kick. His hands have a tendency to get away from his body, which creates a longer bat path. He registered a 7.19 60-yard dash time. 11/6/11 The 5-foot-6, 145-pound prospect has a small, but athletic build. While fielding, he consistently attacks and moves through the ball. He uses quick, short arm action to generate a velocity of 74 mph across the infield. At the plate, the right-handed hitter starts slightly open with a wide base, but displays the tendencies of a contact hitter, who can drive the ball to all fields. He ran a 7.10 60-yard dash.
