The Resume

    (February 11, 1994- )
    Born in Kennesaw, Georgia
    Birth name is James Dansby Swanson
    Drafted first overall by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the 2015 Major League Baseball Draft

Why he might be annoying:

    He goes by his middle name rather then his birth one.
    He was traded by the Diamondbacks a year after he was drafted first overall by the team.
    His major league debut was delayed after he took a pitch to the face (2016).
    His trade to the Braves was overhyped as a result of his being a Georgia native.
    He uses the name LieutenantDans7 as his Twitter handle.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was a member of the Vanderbilt baseball team that won the College World Series (2014).
    He fulfilled a childhood dream by playing for the Braves.
    He was the second player in Braves history to record an inside-the-park home run as his first career home run.
    He was the first member of his family to make it to the professional baseball ranks.
    He was one the notable player acquired by former general manager John Copolella, prior to the latter's banishment from baseball.
