Kyle Schwarber's impact on his teammates goes beyond home runs. 'He cares so much' about everyone else, says Ian Happ.
to introduce Schwarber when he made an unsolicited mention of what the 29-year-old would mean “from a teammate, makeup perspective.”
To his former teammates, it’s no coincidence that Schwarber reached the playoffs in all but one of his first seven major league seasons. It helped, of course, that he played with talented Cubs teams that included Kris Bryant, Anthony Rizzo, Javier Báez, Willson Contreras, Jon Lester, and Jake Arrieta. But Schwarber helped hold it all together like Super Glue.
There are signs of that leadership with the Phillies. After home games, Schwarber often pulls up a chair for Bryson Stott, Matt Vierling, and any other young Phillies player who wants to sit and chat. He leads the team in aBryce Harper and J.T. Realmuto tend to lead more by example. Schwarber leads with his charisma and the experience that comes with having played in 35 postseason games, including Game 7 of the World Series.
“[Rafael] Devers would say, ‘What you going to do today?’ And he was like, ‘I’m going to hit homers today,’” Bogaerts said. “I’m like, ‘Man, this guy, he’s unbelievable. It was really fun having him on our team because he definitely carried us for a while. He picked it up. That big back that he has, he carried us.”Schwarber has lifted up the Phillies, too. At the All-Star break, they are percentage points ahead of the St. Louis Cardinals for the final National League playoff spot.
