2/24/24

C Adam Swanson (Ottawa Township, 2026) swings a fast, highly physical right-handed barrel that produced some of the loudest contact we saw this past weekend. Plenty strong at 5-foot-10, 187-pounds, Swanson barreled eight balls in BP at 94+ mph, with his three highest coming off his bat at 98.3, 98.7, and 99.9 mph. Swanson’s average exit velocity (95.1 mph) and max exit velocity (99.9 mph) each came in fourth, respectively, on our TrackMan hitting leaderboards. He’s a standout athlete too, bolting to a 6.71 time in the 60-yard dash with a 1.61 10-yard split, 20 mph max run speed, and 35.9” vertical jump. To cap off a highly impressive day, Swanson led all catchers in throwing velocity (80 mph) and pop times (1.87-2.00).

2/24/24
C Adam Swanson (Ottawa Township, 2026) is a no-doubt name to know from the event, showing well across the board this past weekend. Listed at 5-foot-10, 186-pounds with round/sloped shoulders and strength throughout, the right-handed hitter put on a show in BP with a max EV of 99.9 mph, averaging 95.1 mph throughout his round with a strong, easy swing that stays through the zone with a balanced finish. He took an impressive round of defense, working with a quick/clean glove-to-hand transfer, staying in-line while gaining ground on throws to second to create a pop-time as low as 1.87 seconds. His arm is also plenty strong, playing quick to release at 80 mph. He’s also a premium athlete, recording a 6.71 in the 60 to pair with a 35.9” max vertical jump.
10/15/23

C Adam Swanson (Ottawa Township, 2026) is a strong, athletic 5-foot-9, 183-pound backstop to monitor going forward. Swanson posted the second-highest vertical jump for the event at 33”, the second-fastest 60-yard dash for the event at 6.84 seconds, and also reached the third-highest run speed at peak (19.9 mph). Swanson had a strong showing with the bat as well, flashing above-average bat speed (avg. 75.9 mph) and the second quickest hands at the dish (avg. 24 mph), allowing for hard, lifted contact from the right side (93.3 mph max EV, avg. 85.3 mph). Swanson was quick and clean behind the dish with a max velocity of 80 mph from the crouch with a pop time range of 1.95-2.01.
