Kyle Schwarber hits ninth home run of the season on Saturday

Kyle Schwarber went 1-for-4 with a solo home run on Saturday against the Dodgers.
Fantasy Impact:
For all of his warts this year, there's no doubting Schwarber's power, and his home run traveled 412 feet and left the bat at 103.7 miles per hour. He's hitting far too many fly balls, as his 50% fly ball rate and meager nine percent line drive rate are way out of line with his career marks. That should be correctable but, even if not, Schwarber is likely going to top 35 home runs this year. Managers should try to make sure they can withstand the batting average hit, but all indications are that his power numbers will be where they need to be by season's end.
