“Unraveling the Crucial Blunder: Rojas and Sosa Reveal the Hidden Tensions Behind Wheeler’s Costly Defeat for the Phillies”
Facing a lefty all four times, Schwarber reached base in every plate appearance with a single, triple, 462-foot homer and walk. The adjustment he made ahead of 2024 to try to use more of the field against lefties was real and the impact has been astonishing. Schwarber was a .204 lifetime hitter against lefties entering 2024, his age-31 season. Since last Opening Day, he’s ripped southpaws to the tune of .316/.423/.547.
He hasn’t just made himself passable against same-handed pitching, he’s turned into one of the biggest threats in baseball. Already this season, Schwarber is 8-for-17 vs. lefties with five extra-base hits. And Sale, with those long arms and legs and low arm slot, is as funky as it gets.
