The most accomplished college and professional baseball player in IU history, Kyle Schwarber was a two-time First-Team All-American during his three years in Bloomington. He concluded his IU career among the program's all-time leaders in slugging (.607), home runs (40), hits (238), and runs (182) while batting .341 in 180 games. He was the anchor of an IU program that won two Big Ten regular season and postseason tournament titles during his three seasons and advanced to the 2013 College World Series for the first time in program history. In 2014, Schwarber was drafted fourth overall in the MLB Draft by the Chicago Cubs and has gone on to tremendous success during an 11-plus year career that has included stints with the Cubs (2015-20), Washington (2021), Boston (2021), and Philadelphia (2022-present). His teams have advanced to the playoffs 10 times, highlighted by the Cubs' 2016 World Series Championship. He led the National League in home runs in both 2022 (46) and 2025 (56), and is a four-time All-Star (2021, 2022, 2025, and 2026).
