  • The current leader among SS's is Dansby Swanson
  • He is putting up better numbers than the experts expected him to.
  • In the past two weeks he has had an awful lot of time off. Either he isn't an every day player or he is coming back from an injury of some sort. I suggest checking out his news page to get a closer look.
