Cubs left fielder Kyle Schwarber is one of the top young sluggers in the National League and played a pivotal role in the team's first World Series win since 1908.
However, Chicago White Sox lefty Derek Holland gave up a homer to him on Friday and then didn't know his name in post-game interviews. “Hats off to ‘Schreiber,’ I think that’s how you say his name, right?” Holland said. I would imagine that he certainly needs to start reading the scouting reports of different star players after Schwarber's three-run blast. For your viewing pleasure: pic.twitter.com/XeRuuF5t1L
During the 2016 World Series, Schwarber hit .412 with seven hits, a double and two RBIs. In 2015, Schwarber hit .246 with 16 home runs, 43 RBIs with an outstanding .842 OPS in only 69 games (273 at-bats) in his rookie season. He was drafted by the Chicago Cubs in the first round (4th overall) in the 2014 MLB Draft.
