John Smoltz praises Philadelphia Phillies' Kyle Schwarber for a legendary Home Run Derby swing-off performance at the 2025 MLB All-Star Game.

Kyle Schwarber connects with a solo home run to right-center field, giving the Phillies a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the 1st inning

The hero of the All-Star Game's home run tiebreaker, Schwarber is currently hitting .247 with 30 home runs for the Phillies this season. The Reds would definitely love to have him, but Philly would also probably hate to lose him. It'll be something to watch when the offseason rolls around.

Philadelphia Phillies legend Ryan Howard broke down an interesting hypothetical Home Run Derby between himself and outfielder Kyle Schwarber.

Since Schwarber signed with the Phillies in 2022, he has hit 162 with the club — the third-most home runs in baseball behind only Aaron Judge (192) and Shohei Ohtani (164). His 12 home runs in the postseason since 2022 are tied with teammate Bryce Harper for the most in baseball.

The Philadelphia Phillies have some key decisions to make this offseason, but perhaps none bigger than the choice they face with Kyle Schwarber.
