Swanson was promoted to Double-A Mississippi on Saturday, MLB.com's Mark Bowman reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Braves' top two hitting prospects, Swanson and Ozzie Albies, who both play shortstop, were promoted Saturday, with Albies heading to Triple-A. Swanson is a very advanced hitter, and the rare player who could reach the majors the year after he was drafted, however with Albies ahead of him, it will be interesting to see how the Braves handle the two shortstops as they continue to move up the ladder. Albies is the superior defender, so it's possible Swanson could shift to second base when his time comes for a promotion to the big leagues. Swanson hit .333/.438/.520 with one home run and six steals, while walking more than he struck out in 89 plate appearances at High-A, and he now faces the extremely difficult hitting environment at Mississippi.
