Are we at an acceptable sample size to declare Swanson real?

His 100 PA stats were worked up by Enscheff back on the 29th of April

What Is Real:

Like the rest of the roster, Swanson has seen his BB rate increase to 11.5%. The K rate is holding steady at 22.1%, so there's nothing to worry about there. We've seen him appear to be handling the SL better, and aside from the wrist injury, that was the biggest offensive challenge he was facing.

I'm not ready to call his 27.9% LD rate real yet, but it is a good sign that the 19.9% LD rate from 2018 was likely the fluke, and we can expect something in the low 20s moving forward. All of his other batted ball numbers look reasonable (41.2% Pull%, 32.4% Cent%, 26.5% Oppo%), so the improved Dansby appears to be the product of health and other minor adjustments rather than an overhaul to his overall offensive approach.
