Dansby Swanson Tallies Three Hits On Thursday
4 years agoAtlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson had his second multi-hit game and first three-hit game of the year on Thursday against the Miami Marlins. Swanson went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI in the game. He was also hit by a pitch. Swanson is off to a slow start to the 2021 season. His three-hit effort on Thursday raised his batting average over .200 for the first time this year. He is now slashing .204/.250/.347 with one home run, four doubles, four RBI and two runs over 13 games. His hard-hit rate this year (46.9%) is up from last year (40.7%), but he's striking out at a higher rate this year (32.7%) than last year (26.7%). It's still early and we should expect Swanson's numbers to start looking better soon.
