VIDEO: Montage and Stats Prove Braves' Dansby Swanson is Among the Unluckiest Players in Baseball

Everybody knows just how unforgiving the game of baseball can be. Relative to other sports, finding individual success on offense is incredibly hard to come by. Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson entered the league as one of the most promising all-around young talents the MLB had to offer, but you probably didn't know he might also be the unluckiest player in baseball. There's video and stats to prove it, folks.

On seemingly every single pitch in this short two-minute video, Swanson appears to make solid contact with the ball, and in some cases deserved an extra-base hit. Unfortunately for Swanson, opposing defenses got the best of him every time in this clip and collectively robbed him of boosting his stats at the plate.

Don't believe us and want stats to back it all up? Sure thing. Swanson's 2019 batting average was .038 short of his projected .289, and his average on balls in play was even more depressing.

A .300 BABIP? That's basically the league average. Up against a projected BABIP of .353, Braves fans ought to be shaking their heads -- and feeling excited about the potential for progression to the mean in 2020. There's no telling what Swanson's stats would have looked like if these balls snuck through the defense even half the time.
