Daily News | Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber joins a stacked MLB home run derby field
STEVEN M. FALK / Staff PhotographerTORONTO — Kyle Schwarber didn’t immediately commit to participating in the home run derby. He gave it some thought, and, after he was, began to hear from his teammates. They kept asking him if he’d enter, and, finally, he announced that he would Tuesday on his Instagram.
The last time Schwarber participated in a home run derby was in 2018, when he fell just short of a title after his current teammate, Bryce Harper, hit nine home runs in a minute to tie Schwarber and walked it off during his 30-second bonus round. Schwarber said he learned a lot from that experience — mainly to pace himself.
Aside from wanting to appease his teammates, Schwarber said that he felt it was important to represent the Phillies in the competition.
