5. SS Dansby Swanson (Atlanta Braves)
Strengths:
- Overall solid hitter that has an advanced approach at the plate
- Doesn’t have a lot of extra motion in his swing
- Has been a “winner” throughout his career
- Possesses quick hands at the plate
- Has power potential
Weaknesses:
- Isn’t an elite level fielder
- Doesn’t have a “wow” factor to his game
- Not much room left for growth
Verdict:
Swanson was picked number-one overall for a reason. No, he isn’t a generational talent, but you know what you’re getting with him. He has the ability to be a very good all-around hitter in this league and should find his way onto some All-Star teams in the process.
