Slugger Kyle Schwarber Reaches 40 Home Runs for 4th Season with Phillies – WTOP News
Schwarber’s 40th homer gave Philadelphia a 6-0 lead and tied Ryan Howard’s Phillies mark for 40-homer seasons.
- On Wednesday, Philadelphia Phillies designated hitter Kyle Schwarber hit his MLB-leading 40th home run against the Seattle Mariners, driving a 98-mph fastball off Bryan Woo approximately 425 feet for a three-run shot.
- This milestone ties Schwarber with former first baseman Ryan Howard for the most 40-plus homer seasons in Phillies history, while matching active leaders Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge.
- With 227 home runs in Philadelphia, Schwarber ranks second for most homers in a player's first five seasons with a single club, trailing only Babe Ruth, who hit 235 with the New York Yankees.
- Schwarber currently leads the MLB in home runs, distancing himself from the Braves' Matt Olson and the Astros' Yordan Alvarez, who each have 36.
- Focusing on team success, "Obviously it's a good thing because that means hopefully you're producing runs," Schwarber said, emphasizing his goal of stacking at-bats to help the Phillies win.
