The MLB season is down to its final months. After hearing for months about Shohei Ohtani being the National League MVP favorite and some talk of Pete Crow-Armstrong early on, Philadelphia Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber has changed that narrative, per MLB.com's Mike Lupica, with a fantastic month of July and the first part of August post-All-Star break run.
Kyle Schwarber slashed .264/.368/.725 in July with 12 home runs, the 1,000th hit of his career, 29 RBIs and 17 runs scored. In 22 games since the All-Star break, he’s slashing .271/.367/.741 with 12 home runs and 28 RBIs with 23 hits and 15 runs, putting his name in the NL MVP race.
