Over the next couple of weeks leading up to MLB Draft, we’ll be taking a closer look at some of the most highly touted prospects. Why is that? Well, although Arizona’s overall last place finish can be a source of shame, it also handed them the 1st selection overall in the MLB Draft. There’s no Strasburg, Harper, or Price in this year’s draft, unfortunately. However, that’s more reason to get better acquainted with the top prospects.
Our inaugural profile will focus on the collegiate shortstop, Dansby Swanson, from Vanderbilt University. Swanson is a 6 feet tall, 190 pound, 21-year old.
