It’s been a wild ride for Chicago Cubs’ Kyle Schwarber. From scoreboard-crushing homers to World Series heroics, remember, 2017 is his first full MLB season.

Kyle Schwarber is mostly known for how he missed nearly the entire 2016 season before showing up just in time to play folk hero in the Chicago Cubs’ World Series victory over the Cleveland Indians.

The results were unquestionably, and undeniably, historical for a couple of reasons.

Seven hits in 17 at-bats, four starts as the clubs’ powerful designated hitter. A .412 batting average and two RBI during the game two victory. In Game 7 he was three-for-five for the Cubs.

All of this, despite missing most of 2016 after that fateful night in Arizona‘s Chase Field when a collision with Dexter Fowler resulted in a torn ACL and LCL for the powerful left fielder.

The Chicago Cubs never missed a beat.
