Do you remember May 18, 2021? There’s no real reason why you should. The Braves had just dropped their second in a row to the Mets, dropping them to 19-23, four games back in the division. Dansby Swanson went 0-for-4 with the ol’ strikeout hat trick, and a team-low -.163 WPA in the game, including making the first out of the ninth in a one-run game. It was a pretty crappy moment for the Braves, who were now in a three-game skid, but also for Swanson, whose latest o-fer gave him a .100/.121/.200 line resulting from reaching base safely just four times in eight games.
Dansby Swanson’s just deserts
