The 2017 roster is starting to take shape for the Swift Current 57's.

As they make their final preparations for their inaugural season as the 57's, Swift Current announced Tuesday night four new pitchers that will be joining the club this summer.

Seniors, Joshua Payne and Justin McAllister from West Texas A & M University, Emporia State University junior Seth Holman and Crowder College sophomore Michael Guerrero will all play with Swift Current in the 2017 season.

"Josh, Seth, and Justin are all experienced pitchers who are putting together great seasons for two of the top teams in Division 2 Baseball," said 57's Head Coach Joe Carnahan. "Michael has a live arm and the ability to miss bats. He is the closer for the #2 ranked team in Junior College."

All four players put up strong numbers south of the boarder this past season.
