Scout’s note
EV95 of 110.385 — 95th percentile of 406 qualified bats — with a luck gap of -0.0136: the ball leaves his bat as hard as almost anyone's, and the numbers agree. A 2014 first-round pick from Middletown, Ohio, Schwarber is 33, sitting on 45 homers and 97 RBI for Philadelphia, second in baseball in home runs. He ranks 74th of 406 on the breakout composite; the board takes 20. Nothing owed, nothing borrowed — 385 career home runs, and the physics say they were earned.

Current signals
The read: Schwarber is tracked, not flagged: an EV95 of 110.4 (95th percentile of the 406 qualified MLB bats we track; median 105.8) with results within 0.014 of what the physics support — nothing owed, nothing borrowed. The boards hunt mispricing, and his price is right. He sits No. 74 of 406 on the breakout composite; the board takes 20.

What he’s paid
Under contractA market fact, not an engine read: what a club decided about him, on the season before this one. Figures from Cot’s.
- 2026 salary
- $33.00M
- Tax hit
- $30.00M
- Service time
- 11 yr 86 d
- Guaranteed
- $150M
The deal 5 years $150M (2026–2030) — $30.0M a year on average, worked out by us rather than stated on the sheet, and not the same thing as the tax hit above
On the sheet: 5 y/$150M (26-30) · agent Excel · 2 / 3 options left
After this season, as the sheet has it
| Season | 2028 | 2029 | 2030 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cash | $33.0M | $33.0M | $33.0M |
| Tax hit | $30.0M | $30.0M | $30.0M |
Cash and the tax hit are two different rulebooks and are never subtracted from one another — see the payroll board for his club, Philadelphia Phillies.
A second set of books
The same contract, read by MLB Spreadsheets (Ethan Hullihen), as of . We keep two sources on this because one source cannot check itself.
- Tax AAV
- $30.0M
- Guaranteed
- $150.0M
- Term
- 5 yrs
What the sheet prices each season at
| Season | 2026 | 2027 | 2028 | 2029 | 2030 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Salary | $15.0M | $30.0M | $30.0M | $30.0M | $30.0M |
A base salary under his own reading, and never subtracted from the cash figure above: a signing bonus lands in one and not the other, so the two disagree on most men without either being wrong. And the sheet does not mark which future seasons are GUARANTEED — a club option and a projected arbitration award are both just a number here, so read past the end of the deal as his forecast rather than as money owed.
Two sources, read a month apart, put this guarantee at the same dollar. That is the check, and it passed.
The tax AAV above is his number under the CBA’s own rulebook, not the average we work out from Cot’s total. On a contract with deferred money the two come apart on purpose — and neither is subtracted from the other.

The Phillies have run out of excuses. Four straight years of postseason regression, an aging core and a roster that keeps falling short. Dave Dombrowski has some massive decisions to make. Even Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber should be on the table. https://t.co/gqNHKPkOrD
