A mic’d up Kyle Schwarber roasted his own forgettable play at first base for the Phillies

After a slow start to the 2023 season, the Philadelphia Phillies have picked it up lately. While missing Bryce Harper, the Phillies have gone 7-3 in their last 10 games, gradually surging back up the NL East standings.

A man instrumental to the Phillies’ hopeful success all season long is Kyle Schwarber. The outfielder/designated hitter/first baseman is known for having one of the biggest bats in baseball. He’s far less known (at least in a good way) for his fielding proficiency.

During an ESPN interview on Sunday Night Baseball, Karl Ravech talked to Schwarber about his history at first base. Schwarber hilariously even refused to entertain the idea that he actually “played” at first base.

If anything, he just occupied space:

Amazing. It’s not enough that Schwarber mashes dingers. He also has a wonderful sense of humor about where he does and doesn’t shine as a ball player.
