Swisher is struggling. The New York Yankees right fielder is hitting .247, and that is his lowest batting average since 2008—the year before he joined the "Bombers".

For a player known for his ability to battle every at-bat and manage to reach base in spite of falling behind in a count, that represents a shocking loss of a key weapon in Swisher's arsenal.
Why has the Yankee outfielder had such a difficult time this season in reaching base?
Perhaps a closer look at his numbers can show us where the root of Swisher's OBP drop lies.
