Another look at the Schwarbomb, by the numbers
If you walk around the Navy Yard this morning, you might still feel the reverberations from Kyle Schwarber's walk-off homer Friday night. That bottom-of-the-ninth blast, which landed on the concourse beyond the second deck in right field, made for as exciting a finish as Nationals Park has witnessed in a while.
Before the Nationals and Diamondbacks get back at it this afternoon, let's take one more look at the first Schwarbomb in Nats history, by the numbers ...
463 - Distance, in feet, of Schwarber's home run. It was the second-longest homer by a Nats player at Nationals Park since Statcast began tracking them in 2015. Only Bryce Harper's 473-foot homer to center field off Nick Pivetta in May 2018 traveled farther.
111.9 - Exit velocity, in miles per hour, of Schwarber's home run.
55 - Number of homers Schwarber hit during the 2018 Home Run Derby at Nationals Park, in which he finished runner-up to Harper.
0 - Number of homers Schwarber hit during the 2018 Home Run Derby at Nationals Park that traveled at least 463 feet. (He topped out at 462 feet.)
.198 - Schwarber's career batting average vs. left-handers, 41 points lower than his average vs. righties.
.667 - Schwarber's 2021 batting average vs. left-handers (2-for-3).
4 - Times the Nationals have won a game 1-0 on a walk-off hit.
1 - Times the Nationals have won a game 1-0 on a walk-off homer.
