Kyle Schwarber Blasts 50th Home Run, Joins Phillies Franchise History

Philadelphia Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber achieved a historic milestone on September 9, 2025, by hitting his 50th home run of the season in a 9-3 victory over the Mets. This three-run shot made him only the second player in Phillies franchise history, alongside Ryan Howard, to reach the 50-homer mark in a single season. Teammates like rookie Otto Kemp praised his "unbelievable" year, noting his performance "looks like a video game." While honored to join such an exclusive club, Schwarber, who is in a contract year, emphasized his focus remains on helping the Philadelphia Phillies make a deep postseason run, despite the personal accolade being one of only 52 50-homer seasons in MLB history.
