Braves' top prospect Dansby Swanson had his third consecutive multi-hit game Tuesday for the Carolina Mudcats.

Swanson is batting .400 after six games is leading the league with five doubles for the Braves' Class A Advanced Mudcats.

"The biggest thing is trying to see pitches, stay with my approach and routine and make adjustments as needed," Swanson told MiLB.com. "You just need to take everything day by day, at-bat by at-bat, pitch by pitch. Ups and downs are part of the game, but if you trust in yourself and be yourself, you'll succeed. I'll just continue to do that and enjoy myself along the way."
