Washington Nationals think Kyle Schwarber will handle left field and bring power to D.C.

The numbers aren’t kind to Kyle Schwarber in the outfield and he knows it, but he doesn’t think he’s a bad outfielder. Schwarber, the 27-year-old catcher-turned-outfielder, has .981 career fielding percentage in left, he’s finished at -3 Defensive Runs Saved in each of the past two seasons, and after -0.9 and -0.8 seasons in 2019-20, he has a 12.7 Ultimate Zone Rating as a left fielder during his time in the majors.
