Chicago Cubs: What a difference one year makes for Kyle Schwarber
On June 22, 2017, amidst a dreadful slump, the Chicago Cubs sent Kyle Schwarber to Iowa. One year later, he’s painting a very different picture.
During his time in Triple-A, Kyle Schwarber regrouped – mentally and physically. When he returned to the Chicago Cubs on July 6, he put up drastically improved numbers. After a dramatic offseason transformation, it’s been a completely different story for the young slugger, who’s emerged as one of the Cubs’ most dangerous hitters.
Last year, expectations were sky-high for Kyle Schwarber to start the season. He was coming off a heroic performance in the World Series and the assumption was he would pick up right where he left off.
