Will Bolt reveals what’s behind Gabe Swansen’s postseason power performance

Nebraska sophomore Gabe Swansen had one home run in 25 games as the regular season came to an end. He now has seven home runs in the past eight games dating back to the start of the Big Ten Tournament.

Swansen stayed hot with a two-run home run in the first inning against Florida in an elimination game of the Stillwater Regional on Sunday.

Nebraska coach Will Bolt joined ESPN during the game and shared what has led to Swansen’s recent success.

“Well, about a month ago he started feeling something that could allow him to be a little more sudden in the box. When I say sudden, just quicker,” Will Bolt said. “He’s kind of been searching a little bit mechanically and it’s kind of taken a toll on him a little bit mentally. He found something about a month ago that’s worked for him and it’s clicked and he’s been on the barrel ever since.”

Gabe Swansen has upped his average to .326 on the season. Josh Overbeek has also homered for the Cornhuskers, but it’s Florida that leads in the fifth inning.

Bolt was also asked if Swansen has shared with the rest of the lineup what led to his hot streak.

“Well, if only it were that simple,” he said laughing. “Everybody’s a little bit different. But Gabe, he knows the strike zone and he’s hitting all different types of pitches and it’s been fun to watch.”
