Kyle Schwarber is batting .268 with 14 home runs and 32 RBI’s. Not bad considering he was struggling to stay afloat in Washington, Boston, and you could add Chicago. Chicago was a great easy transition for him as he became drafted originally a fourth overall pick. Some said, he would not mount to that selection but peaked at times he is now.
It is to be said Schwarber is the crumb of the wood so to speak. He can hammer it to mostly right field where they have been casted off to and ranks 57th in MLB league exit velocity.
Isn’t that strange?
One of the best home runs leaders with Aaron Judge, Shohei Ohtani, and Cal Raleigh cannot especially be criticized for being 5 foot 10 and equipped to run average but hard for the city and newest community of his in Philadelphia.
He has established a hard-felt relationship with the law enforcement of Philadelphia and organizations that stemmed to his player as a Phillie. He has also had a stake in Bryce Harper’s career but the former Sports Illustrated cover at teenage years begins to face the question whether he wants to play designated hitter considering all his mileage and determination to play extended years with the organization.
Is Schwarber well-suited?
The OPS does not really stand to what he might demand on the market but by now Schwarber has bounced from team to team and been playing in his prime. Critics question if time can only take a step further to the player Schwarber is.
Schwarber’s scouting report in high school read improvement catching behind the plate and good approach to not only the game but decent strength of power to his bat which has kept him away from meager performances.
The Phillies have incoming prospects such as Justin Crawford, Aidan Miller, Otto Kemp, MIck Abel, and Andrew Painter approaching and it would not hurt to second guess how much Philadelphia is spending into their offense much so their bullpen with recent promotion such as Orion Kerkering being a suspect of things to inspect.
Miller, to say, is the Phillies top prospect since August 1 hitting a .906 OPS accrediting his teammate Justin Crawford for his mental success so that is a considerable good thing that these young players are in their zone and playing consistently who now rests on Painter. A solid top-rated pitching prospect within the Phillies organization and possibly the best ever developing a nice curveball this spring training right next to the tutelage of Phillies future Hall of Famer, Cole Hamels.
Schwarber is a good player but the market and prospect system will determine everything to possibly strike a trade deal. Trea Turner is the Phils best player again with a .306 average and I certainly believe manager Rob Thomson is opening the cracks for more younger players such as Bryson Stott and Alec Bohm to establish themselves in the lineup being homegrown.
