Kyle Schwarber Named NL MVP and Silver Slugger Finalist After Career-Best Season

Philadelphia Phillies designated hitter Kyle Schwarber, a three-time All-Star, has been named a finalist for both the National League Most Valuable Player (MVP) award and the NL Silver Slugger award. Schwarber, 31, had a career-best season, leading the NL with 56 home runs and 132 RBIs, both personal highs. This marks his closest approach to an MVP award, having previously finished 15th in voting last season. The MVP awards are scheduled to be announced on November 13.
