Kyle Schwarber sets yet another Nationals record with absolute monster shot (Video)
By Scott Rogust
Kyle Schwarber hit another home run for the Washington Nationals on Monday, and made history in the process.
The Washington Nationals may have made the most underrated transaction of the offseason when they signed former Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Schwarber to a one-year, $10 million contract. They are certainly enjoying the benefits of the signing, as he has been hitting home runs at will as of late, especially this month.
It should come as no surprise that Schwarber hit yet another home run.
During Monday’s game against the New York Mets, Schwarber blasted a solo, leadoff home run off pitcher Jerad Eickhoff to give the Nationals an early 1-0 lead. That was Schwarber’s 14th homer of the month of June, which is the most any Nationals player has hit in a single month in franchise history.
