Both hitting about .200. Swihart got some cheers at Worcester and some "We remember him" praise from the WooSox broadcasters. Never heard anything complimentary about Dietrich.

Did Dietrich get hurt in 2018? Or early in 2019? His numbers collapsed, and he has been hitting about .150 everywhere since.

No, he just tried and failed to become a home run hitter.   Well, that's not strictly true - he did hit a few homers - but he also stopped hitting anything else.

Dietrich's real problem is that he's universally reviled.  Guys who can play everywhere, get on base, and walk a lot still get chances except when they piss people off.  The chances he gets nowadays are telling.
