Kyle Schwarber isn’t just having a career year or one of the best walk years in recent memory. He’s having a once-in-a-blue-moon season.

Hitting .245/.372/.571, Schwarber has already set a career-high with 53 home runs, 128 RBIs and 4.9 wins above replacement, according to Baseball Reference. His 154 OPS+ would be a career best. So would his .571 slugging percentage. One more stolen base — he has 10 — and he’d set a career-high there, too.

The 32-year-old, set to hit the free-agent market later this year, has also scored 106 runs and drawn 104 walks.

All extremely impressive totals.
