Kyle Schwarber Has Tripled His WAR Over Monster 10-Game Stretch

Last Sunday in Milwaukee served as a bit of a coming out party for Kyle Schwarber, who launched a grand slam and a three-run homer in his first two at-bats to beat the Brewers into submission. He’s gone on an absolute rampage since, posting a 1.534 OPS with a .594 wOBA and 275 wRC+ over his last 33 plate appearances. We’ll continue as soon as you return your jaw back to its proper position.

Only the Twins’ Nelson Cruz (308, 0.9) has a higher respective wRC+ and fWAR marks over that same period, though comparing such things over a week and a half really doesn’t get us anywhere.
