Kyle Schwarber 2026 Fantasy Baseball Outlook: Return to Philadelphia to Keep Power Rolling
Philadelphia Phillies outfielder/designated hitter Kyle Schwarber played all 162 games with several career-high power marks for his age-32 season. The slugger muscled out 56 home runs with 132 RBI, 111 runs scored, and a .240/.365/.563 triple slash. He even tied a best mark with 10 steals! Projection systems won't read too heavily into that trend, but it's nice to see he's still hungry on the basepaths. The thump returned with an eight-percentage-point bounce-back with his fly-ball rate, which joined his highest pull rate ever (55.9%) to feed the power plant. He's now averaging 47 HRs over the last four seasons, and that sad .197 batting average in 2023 is now a distant memory with back-to-back years of .240 and up. Citizens Bank Park remains the premier venue for lefty-swinging power bats, rocking an MLB-best 128 LHB HR Park Factor over the last three years. ATC's late-January cut is projecting 42 HRs, 100 runs, 103 RBI, and six steals next to a .231 average and .849 OPS. His early RotoBaller rank and ADP put him near the end of the second round of 12-team drafts, making him a key choice for those who take someone like Bobby Witt Jr. early in the first.
