After that start, Phillies fans are clamoring for the team to sign Schwarber to a long-term deal. Some have estimated that if the Phillies sign Schwarber to another four-year deal the price tag would be $100 million. The 2011 Middletown High School graduate, who spent two years at Indiana University before being drafted in the first round by the Chicago Cubs, has hit 14 homers in 149 at-bats, tying him with the New York Yankees Aaron Judge for the MLB lead.
