Kyle Schwarber Chases Phillies HR Record

Phillies Nation reported on September 25, 2025, that outfielder Kyle Schwarber is approaching the Philadelphia Phillies' single-season home run record of 58. The current record-holder, former first baseman Ryan Howard, has voiced his support for Schwarber, stating he hopes to see his record broken. Howard originally set the franchise mark during his National League MVP campaign in 2006, a total that has not been seriously challenged by a Phillies player in nearly two decades.

Schwarber’s pursuit follows previous powerful seasons with the team, including one in which he hit 47 home runs. His offensive profile, characterized by high home run totals and numerous strikeouts, has drawn comparisons to Howard’s own playing style. The source material did not specify Schwarber's exact home run total at the time of publication. Schwarber will attempt to break the 58-homer mark in the final remaining games of the regular season.
