SPORTS SPECTRUM EPISODE 24 DANSBY SWANSON
Sports Spectrum Podcast with Jason Romano • 23m
Dansby Swanson is entering his sixth season as the shortstop of the Atlanta Braves. He was originally the number one overall pick by the Arizona Diamondbacks back in 2015 before being traded in December 2015 to the Braves.
In college at Vanderbilt, Dansby was named the 2014 College World Series Most Valuable Player after helping lead his club to the College Baseball World Series Championship.
Last season, Swanson led the Braves to within a game of the World Series, and hit a NLCS Game 7 home run in a 3-2 loss to the eventual champion Los Angeles Dodgers. He finished the shortened 2020 season with 10 homers and hit a career high .274 in 60 games.
Today on the podcast, we talk to Dansby about the shortened 2020 season, what it's like to hit a home run in a Game 7, how he coped with fear and anxiety and why intentionality is his one word for 2021.
