I was also shocked to see Swisher's ISO identical to a year ago, and his BB% the same. It really seems his only big differential is in the BABIP which won't stay .251 next year.

Looking at Swisher's season, I was expecting to see a large decrease in line drive % and/or an increase in FB% or IFFB%... I can't believe they are all practically consistent with with his career... LD% actually increased. Seems Swisher was pretty damn unlucky. I think it would be interesting to see who was the luckiest/unluckiest players of the season.
