Philadelphia Phillies' power-hitter Kyle Schwarber inched closer to two Phillies' legends Wednesday when he became the third fastest in franchise history to hit 34 home runs in a season.
Kyle Schwarber recorded his 1,000th career hit in the Philadelphia Phillies ' 12-5 victory over the New York Yankees on Friday. Schwarber's milestone hit was a two-run home run that tied the game 2-2 in the top of the fifth inning. It was his 35th home run of the season.
Kyle Schwarber topped Mark McGwire for most home runs among a player's first 1,000 hits, hitting long ball No. 319. “I don’t know if that’s a good thing or not,” the Philadelphia Phillies slugger said.
Kyle Schwarber's 1,000th career hit was, fittingly, a Schwarbomb. The Phillies slugger reached the milestone with a 114 mph rocket home run over the right-center-field wall in the fifth inning of Friday night's series opener at Yankee Stadium.
Schwarber went 3-for-5 with a walk, two home runs, three runs scored and four RBI in Friday's 12-5 win over the Yankees.
Schwarber went on an absolute tear in the month of June, putting up a 183 wRC+ while slugging 16 homers. For a period of time, he was the talk of baseball and the hottest hitter on the planet.

The Boston Red Sox don't get enough heat for allowing Kyle Schwarber to walk. Schwarber has been arguably the top power hitter in Major League Baseball outside of a few guys over the past few years, continuing to do so during the 2025 campaign with 33 bombs and 75 RBIs.
