Swanson swats a career-high five hits for Hops

2015 No. 1 overall Draft pick Dansby Swanson can now add a five-hit performance to his already impressive professional resume.

After collecting two hits in seven of his first 18 professional games, the Diamondbacks' No. 1 prospect went 5-for-6 with a triple and three runs scored on Thursday in Short Season Hillsboro's 12-0 rout over Boise.

The 21-year-old shortstop connected on his third triple of the season in the first inning and then singled in each of his next four at-bats for the Hops, but he struck out swinging in his final at-bat with two outs in the top of the ninth.
