Philadelphia Phillies designated hitter Kyle Schwarber has become one of the most prolific sluggers in Major League Baseball, leading the National League in home runs in 2025 and already leading the league in 2026. Schwarber hit a towering 460-foot home run on Friday against the Colorado Rockies, his fourth homer of at least 460 feet over the last two seasons, the most in the big leagues over that span.

So far in 2026, he's leading the National League with three homers already, including the 460-foot blast against the Rockies.
