Kyle Schwarber made his presence felt during Game 1 of the NLCS when he hit a mammoth moonshot of a home run.
In the top of the sixth inning, Schwarber’s homer gave the Phillies a 2-0 lead, which was the eventual final score.
The solo shot came came off of Padres righty Yu Darvish.

Schwarber’s huge homer went 488-feet, the longest ever hit at Petco Park.
The ball left Schwarber’s bat at 119.7 mph, the highest velocity off a bat by any player but New York Yankee sluggers Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton.

Schwarber’s massive homer was so impressive, Bryce Harper was left looking astonished from the dugout trying to grasp what he just saw.
Japanese ace Kodai Senga will opt-out of his deal and pursue a MLB deal, the Red Sox an option?
Harper also hit a homer in the game. His homer gave Philadelphia a 1-0 lead. The All-Star hit a 368-foot homer in the fourth inning.
