Camden Swogger, a senior standout at Bellwood Antis High School, has officially signed to continue his baseball career at Delgado Community College. The announcement was made this week, highlighting the pitcher/infielder’s commitment to the Louisiana-based institution.
Why Delgado?
Delgado’s blend of a rigorous competitive culture and a proven track record of player development resonated strongly with Swogger. The college’s coaching staff, facilities and supportive environment presented an appealing blueprint for the next stage of his athletic journey.
Swogger’s recruitment journey involved serious consideration of several other schools, notably Bucknell University, the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown and the University of Virginia's College at Wise. Each program offered distinct academic and athletic pathways, but the Bellwood native ultimately gravitated toward Delgado’s reputation for fostering both skill growth and competitive play.
Coach’s Praise
Coach Adam Plummer, who has mentored Swogger throughout his high school tenure, lauded the young athlete’s dedication and character. “Camden’s work ethic and integrity set him apart,” Plummer said. “I’m excited to see how he’ll contribute to Delgado’s program and confident he’ll continue to excel.”
Swogger expressed gratitude toward his family, coaches, teammates and friends, acknowledging their role in his development. “I’m thankful for the unwavering support of my parents, Chad and Renee Swogger, and the entire Bellwood community,” he said.
Looking ahead, Swogger hopes to bring the same enthusiasm for lifting, pickleball and fishing that he balances off the field into his collegiate experience, aiming to make a meaningful impact both on and off the diamond.
