South Alabama's Travis Swaggerty earns All-America honors

South Alabama center fielder Travis Swaggerty was named a second-team All-American by the American Baseball Coaches Association/Rawlings on Saturday.

The sophomore from Mandeville, La., batted .356/.484/.571 with 11 home runs, 60 RBIs and 19 steals in 2017, as USA went 40-21 and won the Sun Belt Conference tournament championship. Swaggerty led the Jaguars in on-base percentage, RBIs, steals, runs (55) and total bases (125) and finished second in batting average, slugging and walks (49).

Swaggerty was a Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American for USA in 2016. He is playing this summer in the prestigious Cape Cod League, a showcase for next year's top MLB draft prospects.
