Kyle Schwarber hit just .197 in 2023, but reached career highs in home runs (47), RBIs (104) and games played (160). He also led the league with 215 strikeouts and his 126 walks were tied for second most in the league. In 13 postseason games, Schwarber batted .255 with five home runs and six RBIs. Definitely not a prototypical lead-off hitter, Schwarber nevertheless again assumed the lead-off spot on May 2nd when Bryce Harper returned to the line-up, and would end up batting there in 108 games. In 2022, his first year with the Phillies, Schwarber batted .218, but led the league with 46 home runs. His average was the same in the postseason (12 for 55) and he connected for six home runs.

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.
