Kyle Schwarber is off to a torrid start in the 2025 season, and his on-base streak has caught the attention of everyone in the Phillies clubhouse.

The Phillies have said they’ll take things slow with Painter, their top prospect and one of the top prospects in baseball, after his Tommy John surgery last year. The goal is to build him up to 90/95 pitches, which will likely be his max this year, before a big league return.

After originally joining the team as an all-or-nothing type hitter - and then smashing 93 home runs in two seasons, at the cost of a low batting average - Schwarber reinvented himself last year, becoming a more well-rounded batter in the leadoff spot.
