2024 Fantasy Outlook
Schwarber continues his Adam Dunn impresssion with his three true outcome lines and poor batting averages on a near annual basis. The .266 average from 2021 is rather reminiscent of Dunn's batting average run in 2009-2010 before he became what Schwarber is doing here in recent seasons. Schwarber may be the most atypical leadoff hitter in baseball with his sub .200 batting average and body type, yet his OBP skills make him a solid fit for the job. Schwarber had amazing production in runs, RBIs, and homers, but complete lack of batting average and steals limits his ceiling as a fantasy producer. Thankfully, he retains his outfield eligibility on draft day since he was forced to play in the outfield while Harper monopolized the DH position most of the season. 2024 should be more of the same for Schwarber as the surrounding cast remains consistent and his three true outcome skills are unlikely to change anytime soon. Perhaps resuming full-time DH will refresh his legs for a few steals. Read Past Outlooks
In starting nine
Schwarber (elbow) will DH and bat leadoff Friday against the Mets.
ANALYSIS
Schwarber was scratched from Wednesday's lineup due to elbow pain stemming from an awkward dive back to first base on a pickoff Tuesday. All indications are that the injury is minor, and he's feeling well enough to play Friday. The 31-year-old has 35 home runs and a .868 OPS on the year.

Schwarber is sort of like the modern-day Adam Dunn in that he's a three-true-outcomes player who is perennially underrated because of his low batting average. He's also not a good defender. With 46 home runs last season, Schwarber led the National League, finishing second in baseball behind only Aaron Judge. Surprisingly, Schwarber added a new element to his game in his first season with the Phillies in the form of stolen bases. He was 10-for-11 on the basepaths after going 4-for-8 over the prior three seasons, so it would seem one of the Philadelphia coaches got through to him on how to read opposing pitchers. Now entering his age-30 season, Schwarber should be celebrated for what he is. His power contributions more than make up for the low average and the steals are just a cherry on top.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Taking more bases
According to Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer, Schwarber is advancing an extra base 53 percent of the time this season compared to 30 percent in 2023.
ANALYSIS
The 31-year-old has been more active on the basepaths early in 2024, as he also has two steals after not recording a theft on two attempts last season. Schwarber still isn't making consistent contact with a .211 batting average and 32.4 percent strikeout rate through 38 games, and he has just one extra-base hit other than his nine homers. The veteran slugger has more or less provided what fantasy managers have expected so far this season, but his 55.3 percent hard-hit rate would be a career high and suggests some better results could be on the horizon.
