Few batters in the sport of baseball can hit a baseball with the might that Kyle Schwarber can bring. He proved just that as he demolished a milestone home run.
The Phillies slugger stepped to the plate in the top of the ninth inning sitting on 299 career homers, and he launched No. 300 with authority. His 466-foot home run clanged off the facing of the third level at Coors Field to make him the 163rd player in Major League Baseball history to homer at least 300 times.
Schwarber’s majestic blast was the highlight of a late offensive explosion for the Phillies.
