The Angels have selected Swanda with the 115th overall pick in the 2017 first-year player draft.
ANALYSIS
A 6-foot-2 prep righty, Swanda has plenty of projection, and could up his draft stock by going to Nebraska. However, considering he came off the board before many anticipated, he could get a big enough bonus to convince him to turn pro. He has a low-90s fastball, good curveball and above-average control. Swanda will need to refine his changeup to project as a starter.
