Between Cal Raleigh, Aaron Judge, Shohei Ohtani, Eugenio Suárez and Kyle Schwarber, there are five sluggers on pace for at least 52 home runs this season.

Kyle Schwarber connects with a solo home run to right-center field, giving the Phillies a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the 1st inning

Philadelphia Phillies legend Ryan Howard broke down an interesting hypothetical Home Run Derby between himself and outfielder Kyle Schwarber.

The lefty stepped to the plate when a 6-6 tie after nine innings sent the midsummer classic to the first "swing-off" in the game's history. Schwarber efficiently used his three swings to launch three homers and beat the American League 4-3 in the "Home Runs For The Win" contest that decided the game.

Kyle Schwarber is a home run king this week, to say the least.

The Reddit detectives believe Kyle Schwarber was unfairly awarded the 2025 MLB All-Star Game MVP award after his dramatic home run swing-off performance.

The former Red Sox slugger homered in all three of his swings, winning game MVP honors and saving the NL after it squandered a six-run lead.

In baseball’s equivalent of soccer’s penalty-kicks shootout, the game was decided by having three batters from each league take three swings each off coaches.

Typically, there are two types of Home Run Derby participants. There are the burly sluggers like Pete Alonso, and there are the wiry elite athletes like Ken Griffey Jr. De La Cruz falls into the ladder category, but he also hits the ball harder than most of the players in that archetype.
