Twins' Matt Wallner might be younger version of Phillies' Kyle SchwarberWhen Matt Wallner was named the Twins' leadoff batter on opening day this season, it was hard not to draw a comparison to the Phillies occasionally utilizing designated hitter Kyle Schwarber in the leadoff spot. Granted, Wallner is already 27 years old, and Schwarber was just 25 years old through his first 906 plate appearances. However, he has still managed to post a 120 wRC+ and hit 20 homers this season, making him a valuable player. pic.twitter.com/KoUk1PLVvP — MLB (@MLB) August 27, 2025The Twins should avoid making a similar mistake to the Chicago Cubs, who non-tendered Schwarber following the 2020 season, by including Wallner in their future plans.
