He may not be getting regular playing time with the Arizona Diamondbacks, but ex-Boston Red Sox catcher Blake Swihart has been heating up at the plate as of late.
In fact, the 27-year-old has hit three home runs in his last 19 at-bats.
His most recent homer Wednesday evening was pretty unique — the first inside-the-park home run at Chase Field since August 2017.

But it all started with this two-run dinger on May 5.

Then there’s this two-run homer that he cranked off of the Atlanta Braves a week ago.
One run ball game again thanks to Blake Swihart!

Pretty spiffy for someone who’s still not regularly in the lineup.
