Dansby Swanson is a Champion. With the Hillsboro Hops. We dream he’ll be a World Champion one day. For now, the future of the Arizona Diamondbacks is a Champion of the Northwest. Swanson is only one ball player on the Hops team that took their 2nd consecutive Northwest League Championship. The Dbacks Single-A affiliate is a budding dynasty.
In the first round of the playoffs, the Hops fought off the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes to take the Northwest League South division. After both sides took a game, the series went to the decisive final contest. Hillsboro took a one run lead into the 9th only to surrender two runs.
