Travis Swaggerty

Swaggerty has seen his status fall from a top prospect in the Pirates' organization, thanks to the depth and quality of the system improving but also due to his own injury troubles. He had season-ending surgery on his shoulder in June of 2021, from which he wasn't fully recovered by the start of the 2022 campaign. He was then set back further by a concussion, before ultimately getting the chance to make his major-league debut on June 8. His time in Pittsburgh was short-lived - he earned only nine plate appearances - but Swaggerty did find a rhythm with Triple-A Indianapolis in the final months of the season, with his walk rate (12.5 percent) and stolen bases (20 SB) serving as standout skills. His opportunity to make an impact in 2023 could come down to whether Bryan Reynolds remains on the roster, as both Cal Mitchell and Jack Suwinski have seemingly jumped Swaggerty on the organizational depth chart. If Swaggerty does get opportunity, he'll be a potential contributor in stolen bases, on-base percentage and runs scored.
