PHOENIX -- Dansby Swanson has accomplished a lot on a baseball field, but the No. 1 overall pick in last month's Draft still feels he has something to prove.
First-round picks typically take batting practice on the field, but on Monday, Swanson's first full day in Arizona, he declined.
"Whenever I get the chance to earn it, that's when I'll be doing that," Swanson said.
Swanson's formal introduction to the D-backs came on Sunday night when he and his family had dinner with manager Chip Hale, general manager Dave Stewart, chief baseball officer Tony La Russa and other members of the organization.
