2023 Fantasy Outlook
Swanson has developed into one of the most durable and reliable players in the league, let alone at shortstop. Swanson and former teammate Matt Olson were the only players to appear in all 162 games. In fact, Swanson has missed only two games since 2020. Swanson's skills are stable and mostly solid, though a 26 percent strikeout rate drains his batting average below the elite at the position. However, Swanson has at least 25 homers each of the past two seasons and doubled his stolen base output to 18. He's in the range of players likely to benefit from the new rules, so 20 bags are plausible. Swanson's defense has been inconsistent, with last season's ranking as above average. Swanson is a classic compiler, exhibiting solid but not elite skills, buoyed by volume. If he hits near the top of the order, Swanson has top-five shortstop potential. Beware, after three straight solid seasons from Swanson, his price is on the rise. Playing half his games at Wrigley Field shouldn't significantly affect his production after he signed with the Cubs, as the venue is mostly neutral in park factors. Read Past Outlooks

Power returning
Swanson went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's victory over San Diego.
ANALYSIS
Swanson posted his eighth three-hit game of the season, but it was his first since May 9. The Cubs' shortstop started the season with a power outage, homering just once in the month of April. He has now homered five times in 29 games since April ended. He is not on pace to top 20 home runs, a mark he has hit in three straight seasons, but his OPS sits at .801 thanks to a career-high walk rate.

Stat Review
How does Dansby Swanson compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Swanson has turned into a nice fallback option at shortstop if a manager misses out on the elite bats. His fantasy value has slowly increased along with his power (.092 ISO to .157 to .172 to .190 to .201). He really turned it on in 2020 when he started all 60 games and continued the iron man streak in 2021 by starting 160 games. That said, it's disappointing to see neither his runs nor RBI over 90. The reason was that he was buried in the bottom half of the Atlanta lineup with only 47 plate appearances coming from the top four lineup spots. Besides the lack of counting stats, it's tough to find a major hole in his game with plate discipline staying constant and his steadily increasing power around double-digit steals.
