The lore surrounding Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Schwarber is prodigious. Yet to play his first full big-league season, his postseason exploits speak for themselves.
In two years of postseason play, the former first-rounder carries a .364/.451/.727 slash-line. Last year, he returned from what was believed to be a season-ending injury to DH for the Cubs in the World Series in Cleveland.
And, as they say, the rest is history.
Speaking of history, longtime Chicago scout Stan Zielinski drew comparisons between Schwarber and one of the greatest players to ever play the game: Hall of Famer Babe Ruth.
