Might bat third or fourth
Phillies manager Rob Thomson is considering batting Schwarber third or fourth this season, Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
ANALYSIS
Schwarber has batted leadoff in 85 percent of his plate appearances since joining the Phillies, but Thompson is mulling a change atop his batting order. If Thomson opts to mix things up, he's expected to hit Trea Turner leadoff and Bryce Harper second, with Schwarber and Alec Bohm occupying the next two spots in some order. The potential change would ding Schwarber's runs projection a bit but boost his RBI potential. He's reached the century mark in both categories in each of the last two regular seasons. Schwarber is once again slated to see most of his playing time at designated hitter in 2025, though he's expected to work out at first base three times per week during spring training to make himself available as an option at the position if Harper requires a day off or misses time, according to Seidman.
