KyleSchwarber

ESPN Fantasy Projection: The arrow was pointing up for Schwarber as 2019 concluded, and as he enters his age-27 season, he might be primed for his best season yet. Last season, for the first time, he handled left-handed pitching adequately, hitting .229/.306/.450 against southpaws, with his continued improvement against them culminating in a .280/.366/.631 slash line and 20 home runs in 70 second-half games. The Cubs saw this and granted him career highs with 155 games and 610 plate appearances, with those rising numbers making him a much stronger selection than previously in weekly formats. Schwarber is now a locked-in top-100 asset in points-based leagues, and he has a realistic chance at reaching that tier in rotisserie leagues, too, especially with the new designated hitter role giving him a soft landing spot in the Cubs' everyday lineup.
