Kyle Schwarber Projections | Platoon Splits (RHP vs LHP)
Kyle Schwarber projected to 150 Games vs RHP and LHP with 12 team mixed fantasy value. This helps identify a player's platoon value for fantasy baseball based on pitcher handedness. These projections - combining Steamer rates and Razzball projected PA/Game and R/RBI - are a MUCH better indicator of a hitter's platoon splits than in-season stats since it involves multiple years of data and has been properly regressed to league averages. Since games are neutralized across players, values for everyday players may look smaller than for preseason/season to date/rest of season where they benefit from playing time advantages vs other players. In general, left-handed hitters have larger platoon splits.| PA | AB | R | HR | RBI | SB | AVG | OBP | SLG | OPS | BABIP | K% | BB% | $ | |

Kyle Schwarber Fantasy Outlook For 2026
Grey Albright Player Summary Re-signed with the Phillies, as everyone expected. Though, the Pirates made a strong effort to get him, offering twenty whole dollars. So, I’m praying here that I’m not overcorrecting for Schwarber, after years of not being high enough on him, i.e., now I’m at a dispensary called High On Kyle’s Supply and I’m rolling blunts filled with Schwarbombs, but let’s take me out of the equation: Steamer projections have him down for 40/7/.228. So, Schwarber minus Me = Still great, but low average. I’d argue like a RAB (Real Arguing Boy) that he’s hit .248 and .240 the last two years and hits the ball harder than just about everyone. That’s not hyperbole. He literally hits the ball harder than all but four other guys on average. Two have been mentioned already — Judge and Ohtani. Said like Buckwheat, “Otay!” — and there’s Oneil Cruz who has other issues that hitting the ball hard can’t fix, and James Wood, who I talk about in Jazz’s blurb. Schwarber also has the highest percentage of Hard Hits at 59.6%. I guess that could just end after he signed a big deal and suddenly he gets old, but that’s you just guessing at something. There’s nothing in his profile that says he should now be old and washed. Also, you know when his .248 and .240 averages happened? After the shift died a noble death between the 2nd baseman and right fielder as a duck snort. The stat xBA has so many problems with it that it drives me nuts, but there is something to be said that Schwarber’s xBA the last year of the shift was .220 and the last two years it was .256 and .255. His Barrels/plate appearance percentage is 11.7, that’s 4th best behind Judge, Ohtani, and Alonso. Schwarber is a beast. The Schwarbeast, if you will. Last year on the Player Rater, he was the 5th most valuable player. This ranking feels like a steal.

| Grey Albright Player Summary |
|---|
| Re-signed with the Phillies, as everyone expected. Though, the Pirates made a strong effort to get him, offering twenty whole dollars. So, I’m praying here that I’m not overcorrecting for Schwarber, after years of not being high enough on him, i.e., now I’m at a dispensary called High On Kyle’s Supply and I’m rolling blunts filled with Schwarbombs, but let’s take me out of the equation: Steamer projections have him down for 40/7/.228. So, Schwarber minus Me = Still great, but low average. I’d argue like a RAB (Real Arguing Boy) that he’s hit .248 and .240 the last two years and hits the ball harder than just about everyone. That’s not hyperbole. He literally hits the ball harder than all but four other guys on average. Two have been mentioned already — Judge and Ohtani. Said like Buckwheat, “Otay!” — and there’s Oneil Cruz who has other issues that hitting the ball hard can’t fix, and James Wood, who I talk about in Jazz’s blurb. Schwarber also has the highest percentage of Hard Hits at 59.6%. I guess that could just end after he signed a big deal and suddenly he gets old, but that’s you just guessing at something. There’s nothing in his profile that says he should now be old and washed. Also, you know when his .248 and .240 averages happened? After the shift died a noble death between the 2nd baseman and right fielder as a duck snort. The stat xBA has so many problems with it that it drives me nuts, but there is something to be said that Schwarber’s xBA the last year of the shift was .220 and the last two years it was .256 and .255. His Barrels/plate appearance percentage is 11.7, that’s 4th best behind Judge, Ohtani, and Alonso. Schwarber is a beast. The Schwarbeast, if you will. Last year on the Player Rater, he was the 5th most valuable player. This ranking feels like a steal. |
