During his three seasons in Bloomington , Kyle Schwarber hit 40 long balls for Hoosier Baseball. He hit plenty of monster shots at Sembower, The Bart, on the road(especially that one at Louisville), in B1G Tourney Games, in NCAA Tourney games, and really anywhere he’s ever swung a bat. The amount of success he’s had, no matter the level of baseball or situation, is staggering.
Some players are just special and the entire country got to find out real quick what we knew for years. He has excelled everywhere he’s played.
• 2012 – After helping the YD Red Sox win a title at The Cape Cod League, Schwarber was awarded Playoff MVP.
• 2013 – Selected to play for Team USA
• 2014 – Drafted 4th overall in the June MLB Draft and dominates every minor league level hitting 18 homers in 70 games.
• 2015 – won Futures Game MVP in Cincinnati.
• NL Wild Card Game- He homered in his first ever playoff game.
• He then put that moon shot on the scoreboard against St Louis in the NLDS

This will be Schwarber’s first try at the MLB Home Run Derby, and fittingly, he’ll be back wearing red Considering what he’s done in the past under the bright lights, I’d say we are in for some kind of show.
