Philadelphia Phillies designated hitter Kyle Schwarber has been one of the most valuable players in Major League Baseball in 2025. He has been a major asset for the team since he signed that four-year deal to bring him to Philadelphia in 2022. The rumors have swirled about where Schwarber could end up in free agency, and the latest rumor about Schwarber's departure now has him going back to his hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio.
Through 96 games, he's batting .247/.378/.545, good for a .923 OPS. With his 2.8 fWAR, he's also on his way to surpassing his most valuable season yet in his 11-year career.
