Fire 54 goes off! Schwarber's baseball has just begun, hitting the second home run king of his career and ranking second in the fall baseball with 21 home runs

Schwarber hit his 54th home run of the season in a home game against the Miami Marlins at Citizens Bank Park on the 24th (Korea time).
Schwarber, who played as the second designated hitter, drew an arch in his first at-bat. After one out in the bottom of the first inning, Miami right-hander Edward Cabrera pulled a 98.3-mile sinker that flew to the high course in the middle of the fourth pitch at the ball count 1B2S and easily crossed the right fence. The ball, which flew high at a launch angle of 42 degrees and 112 miles, drew a large parabola and fell 385 feet from the middle of the right outfield seat.
It is the first time in 8 days and 6 games that Schwarber hit a home run since the game against the Los Angeles Dodgers on the 16th. With this, Schwarber beat Shohei Ohtani (53) of the Dodgers to become the lone No. 1 home run in the NL.
Ohtani, who hit four home runs in five games from the Philadelphia game on the 17th to the San Francisco Giants on the 21st, stayed for three days with 53 home runs due to his consecutive cannon silence against San Francisco on the 22nd and the Arizona Diamondbacks on the same day.

However, Schwarber marched toward a historic record. It is the most home runs in four seasons since the first relationship with a specific team. He has 185 home runs in four seasons since moving to Philadelphia in 2022. Mark McGuire is ranked first in this category, and Babe Ruth is ranked second. Maguire hit 191 homers in four seasons until 2000 after moving to the St. Louis Cardinals in the summer of 1997, and Ruth was traded to the Yankees in 1920 before hitting 189 homers in four years until 2023.
In other words, if Schwarber adds four homers in the remaining five games, he will catch up with Ruth and Howard at the same time.
As of today, Schwarber had a batting average of 0.241 (141 hits in 585 at-bats), 54 home runs, 130 RBIs, 108 runs, 106 walks, 10 steals, 0.367 on-base percentage, 0.562 slugging percentage, and 0.929. It ranks first in RBIs in both leagues, and in the NL, it ranks first in home runs, third in walks, fourth in runs scored, third in OPS, and second in slugging percentage. It is bWAR 4.4, fWAR 4.8.

However, Schwarber's 2025 baseball is the real thing from now on. Philadelphia has already won the NL East, and is likely to go straight to the Division Series. Schwarber hit a postseason career-high 21 home runs. This is the fourth place in history and the second place in active duty. The No. 1 player in all time is Manny Ramirez, who hit 29, and the No. 1 active player is Houston Astros Jose Altuve, who hit 27.
Schwarber played in seven games and hit five home runs in the 2023 NL Championship Series against Arizona. He hit three homers in five games in the 2022 Division Series and three homers in six games in the World Series. He was also good at driving in the fall baseball.
If the Dodgers pass the wild card series, they will meet Philadelphia in the division series. In October, a real match against Ohtani could be held. MVP is a matter of that humanity.
