Watch Kyle Schwarber’s 488-foot home run from every angle (Video)

Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber hit one of the hardest home runs of the Statcast era, and it came in a major postseason moment against the Padres.

The Phillies aren’t a team to kill their opponent by paper cut. If they make contact, odds are the ball is going to travel very, very far.

Philadelphia’s first two runs of the NLCS came on solo home runs. The first, by Bryce Harper, just barely reached the seats on a deep fly ball as high as the moon. The second, by Schwarber, broke a postseason record.

Per ESPN’s Jeff Passan, Schwarber’s home run was the fifth-hardest hit home run in the Statcast era. It was the hardest-hit home run in postseason history since that era began in 2015, as well. It’s also the longest home run in Petco Park history (488 feet) and the second-longest home run in the Statcast era only to Willson Contreras’ 491-foot blast in 2017.

Phillies: Kyle Schwarber’s home run from all angles

Schwarber’s home run from the fan point of view is utterly insane, given you can’t even see where the ball lands.

Teammate Bryce Harper’s reaction said it all — as all he could muster was his mouth agape. Harper was utterly speechless, as the crack of Schwarber’s bat did all the talking.

Ken Rosenthal caught up with Schwarber after his home run. Apparently, the swing “felt good”. You don’t say?

Schwarber evidently had a great batting practice session heading into the series. Of all Philadelphia’s hitters, Schwarber was still waiting for his postseason moment.

Safe to say he has it, now.

The 29-year-old was mobbed by his teammates as he made his way back to the dugout.

Are we sure this man is human? The rare combination of exit velocity and power in his swing is rarely seen, even on the grandest of stages.
