Kyle Schwarber

Kyle Schwarber delivered another stellar season, showcasing his trademark consistency by blasting 38 home runs, crossing the plate 110 times, and driving in 104 runs. In 2024, he added a .248 batting average to his résumé, stole five bases, and kept his strikeout total under 200 for the first time since 2021-a season in which he played just 113 games. At 31 years old, Schwarber's skill set remains well-suited for maintaining his production. Batting in the heart of a potent Phillies lineup, he's primed to keep racking up numbers. With free agency looming after 2025, he could also bring an extra edge to his performance. Just be prepared to balance out his impact on your team's batting average while enjoying the power surge.

Kyle Schwarber homers, Phillies fall to Cubs

Kyle Schwarber went 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in the Phillies' 10-4 loss to the Cubs.

Fantasy Impact

His lone hit of the game added to his impressive home run tally, bringing his season total to 38. Despite the loss, Schwarber's power continues to be a major asset for fantasy managers, especially in leagues that value slugging and RBI. However, his high strikeout rate remains a concern and can be a drag on his batting average, which sits at .250. Owners should continue to ride the power wave with Schwarber, but must be cognizant of the potential batting average liability.
