Kyle Schwarber is making it clear that this year is shaping up to be a special one—not just because of his recently ended on-base streak, but also because he’s now on the verge of joining an exclusive record club alongside a Philadelphia Phillies legend.
According to the latest stats, Schwarber is just one home run away from reaching the 300-home-run milestone—a MLB club that very few players ever enter. Even more significant is the fact that he would be tying Chuck Klein, who finished his career with exactly 300 home runs.
This season, Schwarber has already hit 15 homers and is on pace to surpass the 38 he launched in 2024. If he keeps up his current form, he could even eclipse his personal best of 47 home runs from the 2023 campaign. His performance has stood out among Phillies teammates—including Bryce Harper, who recently grabbed headlines for his haircut and hot streak.
299 career home runs for Schwarber
In his most recent game on May 17, Schwarber didn’t go deep, but with 299 career home runs, it feels like only a matter of time before he reaches the milestone, ties Klein, and potentially pushes beyond 300 before the end of the season.
His most recent home run came on May 14 against the Cardinals, a game the Phillies lost 14–7. In that matchup, Schwarber contributed a hit, a run scored, and struck out twice, finishing the game with a .261 batting average.
