Smash or Pass: Kyle Schwarber
Briefly

Smash or Pass: Kyle Schwarber
"Outside of Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani, who have combined for seven MVPs this decade, he is the best power hitter in the game of baseball. Over his four years with Philadelphia, Schwarber's 187 home runs were tied for second with Ohtani, only bested by Judge's 210. No one else was even close to this trio, with fellow free-agent Pete Alonso in fourth at 158 home runs."
"His statcast, especially for a 32-year-old, is stunning. Nobody, not even Shohei Ohtani, had a higher Hard Hit % in MLB than Schwarber's 59.6%. His bat speed of 77.3 mph is fifth in baseball. Typically reserved for the kids in the league, the top four in bat speed are Oneil Cruz (age 27), Junior Caminero (22), Jordan Walker (23), and Jo Adell (26)."
Kyle Schwarber produced historic power numbers across multiple teams, including 187 home runs and 434 RBI over four seasons in Philadelphia while averaging 157 games. He has elite Statcast metrics for his age, including a 59.6% Hard Hit percentage and a 77.3 mph bat speed, ranking among MLB leaders.
