Kyle Schwarber enters MLB history books with Home Run No. 55 against the Miami Marlins

Kyle Schwarber set a record tonight in South Philly that literally no one in Major League Baseball history has ever touched.

Schwarber hit a game-tying solo home run in the bottom of the third inning against the Marlins. The bomb extended his career-high to 55 homers and also set the Major League Baseball record for most home runs by a left-handed hitter against left-handed pitching in a single season.

Think about how insane that is. Normally, a left-on-left matchup is a death sentence for hitters. Pitchers carve you up, managers pinch-hit, fans expect strikeouts.

Kyle Schwarber has taken that entire logic and blown it to smithereens. Of his 55 bombs this year, 23 have come against lefties.

Twenty-three!

That’s not supposed to happen. That’s not even supposed to be possible.

The numbers are just stupid at this point. Against left-handers, Schwarber’s rocking a .246 average and a .946 OPS. Against righties, it’s .236 and .919. The guy is so locked in that it doesn’t matter who’s on the mound.

Kyle Schwarber is doing all this in the final year of his four-year, $79 million deal. A deal people once laughed at, by the way. Now he’s going to hit the market after a career season, sitting alone in baseball history as the most dangerous left-on-left slugger the sport has ever seen.
