Definitely a bummer, but maybe he could come back like Stieg...
Even though Swift is a rising junior, he will be draft eligible this year as he turns 21 on July 1st so maybe he is using the portal for leverage.
The question will be where Willey and Szefc see him in terms of a role next year. I would imagine Swift wants to land a weekend starter role wherever he is at and even though he made the jump from weekday starter to weekend reliever this year, he wasn't used much at all down the stretch so I'm not sure they saw him ultimately as a weekend starter going into next season.
