Somehow Schwarber has a career BA of .228 but the way he's going, it will be dropping. At least he does walk a fair amount so his career OBP is .338. (Kingman was .236 BA and .302 OBP).
I thought he would be helped by shifts being banned, but apparently not. He currently has 19 home runs and only 18 singles and seems to either strike out of fly out so not hitting many ground balls that have a chance to get through the bigger holes on the left side.
