Kyle Schwarber hit a home run in his first Phillies at-bat. It also happened to be a leadoff blast for the newly-signed designated hitter.

Bryce Harper was thrilled with the Phillies free agent signings for good reason, as adding Schwarber and Nick Castellanos makes this lineup all the more impressive. Schwarber signed a four-year, $79 million contract this offseason, keeping him in the City of Brotherly Love for quite some time, assuming they don’t deal him elsewhere during that span.

Schwarber has been a fan favorite everywhere he’s played. You should expect to add Philly to that list, as fans are excited about what this team can offer. The Phillies spent big money this offseason, and it’s already paying off.

Phillies fans erupt after Kyle Schwarber home run

Phillies fans were very active on social media, and rightly so, after Schwarber went yard.

Included in the above tweets is the view of Schwarber’s home run from the press box, as well as the radio call. Safe to say this will be a moment the fine folks in Philly won’t forget.
