Independence Day has passed. The fireworks are over, the last of the litter from the barbecues has been cleaned up, the pets have come out from under the couch. Phillies baseball continues, but June, Kyle Schwarber’s month, is over. Do you recall when you first became aware of his claim to it? Maybe, but perhaps at some point it simply entered your consciousness and lodged there. It’s worth taking a look at Schwarber’s Junes, both the previous ones and this year’s entry into the canon, to see what lies under the hood.
Schwarber slashed .223/.339/.515 in June of 2023, better in each category than he delivered in a just-okay April and lackluster May.
