Sweeney is a lithe and projectable 6-0, 180 lb left handed hitter from Cedar Rapids, Iowa with serious MLB tools. He isn't nearly as physical as his older brother Ryan of the Oakland A's but has much more advanced hitting skills at the same age. Sweeney has pure hitter's hands, with very good quickness and barrel control and the ability to lift the ball to all fields. He'll develop some real home run power as he gets older. Sweeney has the athletic ability to play all over the field defensively and scouts debate what will be his best position ultimately. He has outstanding middle infield actions with excellent hands and a very strong arm. Sweeney is already being talked about as a potential top 2 round type draft pick.
