Rob Thompson Pays Homage To Kyle Schwarber After Dismissive…Read More

Philadelphia Phillies manager Rob Thomson has praised Kyle Schwarber for his exceptional talent and leadership on the field. Schwarber has been on a tear lately, with 33 home runs and 80 RBIs this season. Despite his low batting average of .184, his .330 on-base percentage and 96 walks have made him a formidable force in the Phillies’ lineup.

Thomson has taken notice of Schwarber’s impressive skills, stating that he will remain the leadoff hitter for the foreseeable future. When asked what it would take for Trea Turner to take over the leadoff role, Thomson joked that it would probably take an injury to Schwarber. He praised Schwarber’s ability to get on base and his power, which has been a game-changer for the team.

Thomson’s admiration for Schwarber is not limited to his offensive skills. He has also lauded Schwarber’s leadership and clubhouse presence, calling him the “best clubhouse presence” he’s ever seen. With Schwarber leading the charge, the Phillies are looking to make a deep run in the playoffs, and Thomson is confident that his team has what it takes to succeed.
