But my eyes say that's impossible. 🙂
Everything is pretty similar to last years as far as batted ball profile (LD% is 24.3 vs 24.2 last year) for Dansby and his BABIP is actually up.
Its not so much that he's swinging more, its that he's missing more.
He's just walking a little less and striking out a little more. His whiff % is a career high, but not by much. So I guess it's WHEN that swing and miss happens. Hopefully it evens out over time.
Happ's contact rates are even worse compared to his career norms. Same story.
