Jun 16 2021
Kyle Schwarber (OF, WAS) plays the field with all the grace of a fully-armored walrus, but man has he turned on the jets at the plate over the past week. Since he began moonlighting in the leadoff spot on June 8, the barrel-chested mammal has gone 4-for-16 with 4 R, 4 HR and 7 RBI while hitting first (he’s also hit fourth twice and sixth once in that span).
