Kyle Schwarber connects with a solo home run to right-center field, giving the Phillies a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the 1st inning

Since Schwarber signed with the Phillies in 2022, he has hit 162 with the club — the third-most home runs in baseball behind only Aaron Judge (192) and Shohei Ohtani (164). His 12 home runs in the postseason since 2022 are tied with teammate Bryce Harper for the most in baseball.

Schwarber, 32, is eligible for free agency after the season. Although there’s mutual interest, talks didn’t progress in spring training, and the sides agreed to table things until after the season.

Losing Kyle Schwarber would be a disaster for the Philadelphia Phillies. For a team that’s already shown below-average power over the past few months, the Phillies absolutely can't lose their top power hitter.
