Schwarber’s home run tear: Tracking every homer from his run originally appeared on NBC Sports Washington
Kyle Schwarber has made history at the plate this season, putting up an impressive display of power that will go down as one of the best baseball has ever seen. In addition to setting the Nationals’ record for most home runs in a month, Schwarber has vaulted himself into the home run race with a run that began just after he was moved to the leadoff spot June 8.
Some came on breaking balls. Others on fastballs. He’s hit some into the third deck while a few just managed to sneak over the wall. In the middle of the zone, above it, outside it — none of that has mattered to Schwarber.
Here’s a list of all the home runs Schwarber has hit throughout his run, complete with the video, distance, exit velocity and pitch type for each one.
