Kyle Schwarber voted NL Player of the Month for June

Philadelphia Phillies left fielder Kyle Schwarber was voted the National League Player of the Month for June, the team announced Saturday afternoon.

Schwarber slashed .272/.385/.680 with 12 home runs, 27 RBIs, 19 walks and a 1.065 OPS in a month of June that saw the Phillies revive their season, going 19-8. The 1.5 fWAR that Schwarber posted in June was tied with National League MVP candidate Paul Goldschmidt for the fifth-best park in among senior circuit position players over that period.

It’s the second consecutive season that Schwarber won NL Player of the Month in June, as he slashed .280/.362/.760 with 16 home runs, 30 RBIs, 13 walks and a 1.122 OPS for the Washington Nationals during the month in 2021.

Schwarber — who signed a four-year/$79 million deal to join the Phillies in March — will enter play Saturday with a National League-leading 23 home runs on the season.
