2023 Chachi #2 Kyle Schwarber


#12
Kyle Joseph Schwarber
Designated Hitter-Left Field

Bats:  Left  Throws:  Right  Height:  6'0"  Weight:  229
Opening Day Age:  30
Born:  March 5, 1993, Middletown, OH
Acquired:  Signed as a free agent with the Phillies, March 20, 2022
Contract Status:  Signed through 2025
Major League Teams:  Chicago Cubs 2015-2020; Washington Nationals 2021; Boston Red Sox 2021; Philadelphia Phillies 2022-2023
World Series Appearances:  Chicago Cubs 2016; Philadelphia Phillies 2022

In his first year with the Phillies, Kyle Schwarber batted just .218, but he led the league with 46 home runs.  That home run tally along with 94 RBIs represented career-highs for the eight-year veteran.  His average was the same in the postseason (12 for 55) and he connected for six home runs.  Schwarber will likely swap time between designated hitter and left field until the return of slugger Bryce Harper in 2023.

Originally drafted by the Cubs as their first round pick in 2014, Schwarber missed almost the entire 2016 season with a torn ACL in his left knee, but he returned in time to help the Cubs win the World Series.  He departed Chicago following the 2020 season via free agency, spending the 2021 season with both the Nationals and the Red Sox.  He's a two-time All-Star (2021 and 2022) and was a Silver Slugger recipient in 2022.
