Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson has struggled at the plate this season. Swanson is slashing .220/.287/.358 after Sunday’s 5-0 win over the Brewers.

Because of Swanson’s proven track record, Cubs hitting coach Dustin Kelly said they can help him with his approach and maintain his movements.

The tough part is keeping confidence up.

“We’re also human, right, and nobody wants to perform better than us,” said Swanson, who hit his first home run on Sunday since April 24. “At times, you can get so lost in results and numbers that you forget that your main job is to show up as yourself and be committed to who God made you to be.
