By Evan Altman Verified| Cubs Insider Verified One look at Dansby Swanson‘s .169/.222/.349 slash line is enough to tell an undiscerning observer everything they need to know about the shortstop. They believe he’s at least 38% worse than the average player, as his 62 wRC+ indicates. But a look under the hood presents a lot of conflicting evidence and a great deal of optimism for a quick offensive turnaround. First up is Swanson’s .179 batting average on balls in play, a mark nearly 130 points below his career average coming into this season
By Evan Altman Verified| Cubs Insider Verified The Cubs have scored 124 runs this season, 17 more than the second-place Yankees, and their 121 team wRC+ is fifth overall. They’re walking more than all but three teams, striking out less than all but five, and their .176 ISO (raw power) ranks sixth as well. That’s pretty solid production from a unit relying largely on better health and bounceback from a number of players who were on the roster last year
