There’s a lot the Red Sox will look back on and regret from the 2022 season, perhaps no bigger decision than to let Kyle Schwarber walk in free agency.
As the Philadelphia Phillies start the National League Championship Series Tuesday night vs. the San Diego Padres, they’ll pencil in a lineup with one of the most unique leadoff hitters in baseball: Schwarber.
He hasn’t done much to help the Phillies in their surprise run past the Atlanta Braves in the N.L. Division Series or past the St. Louis Cardinals in the Wild Card series, going just 1-for-20 with three walks combined, but Schwarber’s presence in the lineup hasn’t gone unnoticed.
