When he was drafted as the number one overall pick by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the 2015 MLB Draft, the expectation was that Dansby Swanson would be a quick mover throughout the Diamondbacks system and be an MLB player as soon as 2016.
Even when he, along with Ender Inciarte and Aaron Blair, were traded to the Atlanta Braves in December of 2015, it was still thought Swanson would be in Atlanta later in 2016, early 2017 at the latest.
Sure enough, Swanson debuted on August 17th in 2016 and since then, he has been a lightning rod for scrutiny; not living up to the expectations of being the top overall pick.
