Kyle Schwarber on a Heater, Hits Two More Homers to Take Major-League Lead
Philadelphia Phillies outfielder/designated hitter Kyle Schwarber is on another planet right now. The veteran slugger went 3-for-5 at the plate in Friday night's 11-9 win in extra innings over the hosting Pittsburgh Pirates with two more home runs, five RBI, a walk, and a strikeout to raise his season average to .237 and his OPS to 1.010. The 33-year-old veteran is as hot as they come and now has the major-league lead with 20 home runs and has also driven in 35 in his first 45 games of the 2026 season. Schwarber is seeing the ball really well right now and has homered nine times in his last eight games despite hitting just .237 overall on the year. Strikeouts will continue to be a big part of his game, but as long as he continues to send balls over the fence with regularity, his fantasy managers won't care too much. In his last seven games, he has a 1.133 slugging percentage, and he pulls the ball in the air more than any hitter in baseball. He's a sight to behold right now.
