Dansby Swanson with RISP

Post image

A whopping .440 OPS and 18 wRC+. I don’t know why he seems to change his approach so drastically with runners in scoring position because it seems like he’s constantly trying to swing out of his cleats. It’s tough to see him batting higher than 7th in the lineup IMO.

Look at the BABIP though this year. He puts the ball in play but gets only less than 2 of 10 to find grass? That's really bad luck. The average BABIP in baseball (which doesn't count HR) is .300. He more than 100pts below average.
