Kyle Schwarber is off to a torrid start in the 2025 season, and his on-base streak has caught the attention of everyone in the Phillies clubhouse.

The Phillies have said they’ll take things slow with Painter, their top prospect and one of the top prospects in baseball, after his Tommy John surgery last year. The goal is to build him up to 90/95 pitches, which will likely be his max this year, before a big league return.

Schwarber, two homers shy of 300, has always slugged. But he’s become more than that for the Phillies with free agency on the horizon.
