Philadelphia Phillies star Kyle Schwarber is getting rave reviews from his teammates amid an amazing season.
What has set Schwarber apart for his teammates has not been his big bat. Of course, finding success helps. But, the 31-year-old designated hitter has won over his teammates, both present and past, with his incredible character.
“He’s a great leader...he’s a true leader. I’ve had teammates that have tried to be Kyle. It’s just not something that you can be. You can’t force it. It’s either you are or you aren’t. And Kyle is.”“He takes an interest in caring about others. And it’s not something that he fakes. It’s something that was engrained in his childhood from an early age. It’s natural.”
“Don’t get me wrong. Do I want to be a great player and be known as a great player? Absolutely. But I don’t ever want to be on someone’s s— list, right? I want to hopefully have a good name in the game. If my career ended today — there’d be a lot more things I wanted to do in this game — but I’d also be pretty damn happy with the things I’ve been able to accomplish. And, hopefully, people would respect that.
So far this season, Schwarber has been an absolute monster at the plate. He has slashed .253/.373/.457 and has hit 16 home runs to go along with 47 RBI. Schwarber has been a huge part of the Phillies being a World Series favorite right now.
