Kyle Schwarber's HOF case is unique and fascinating. We never really got to test the automatic nature of 500 non-PED homers opening the doors to Cooperstown for an otherwise one-dimensional player because Dave Kingman and Adam Dunn both fell short. But it's looking more and more like Schwarber won't. Now, while some of You People™ regularly mention Schwarber and Kingman in the same breath, I think most folks with multiple brain cells can agree that Dunn and Schwarber are vastly superior hitters (not to mention more popular human beings) than Kingman. Their batting averages are all in the .230s, Kingman trails the other two by about 70 points of OPS, which is significant. I continue to think that Dunn would have been the first player to truly test the automatic nature of 500 homers. He couldn't run, he couldn't field, he couldn't hit for average, and he was constantly in record-setting strikeout territory. And yet, it would be completely unprecedented to keep someone out of Cooperstown that hit 500 homers without the benefit of steroids. Now here comes Schwarber, who has all of the same limitations as Dunn –– can't run, can't field, can't hit for average, strikes out 200 times a year –– but he feels different. He's wildly popular and a team leader in Philadelphia, and perhaps MOST importantly, he has the benefit of the Universal DH. He's still hitting bombs like it's his job (because it is) and he's the face of this generation of Phillies. His postseason slash line (.234/.361/.545, .907 OPS over 73 games) is consistent with his career production and intangibles further buoy his candidacy. I think he reaches 500 homers. And I think he gets his plaque.

@CodifyBaseball @notgaetti @baseball_ref @TheWARmonger_ @JessicaDBrand @JackFritzWIP @PhillyFrontO @2008Philz @extrastats @BigLeagueDigest he is hitting 70+ homers this year, and no one realizes it yet.

@CodifyBaseball @notgaetti @baseball_ref @theaceofspaeder @TheWARmonger_ @JessicaDBrand @JackFritzWIP @PhillyFrontO @2008Philz @extrastats @BigLeagueDigest If you NEPTA Dave Kingman and Kyle Schwarber…it is scary close. Does Kingman belong in the HOF? if Schwarbs falls short of 500 he may still make it!

@CodifyBaseball @notgaetti @baseball_ref @theaceofspaeder @TheWARmonger_ @JessicaDBrand @JackFritzWIP @PhillyFrontO @2008Philz @extrastats @BigLeagueDigest No. Every single person with 400 HR was in the hall prior to 1990. Darrell Evans and Dave Kingman were both done on one ballot. Someone has to be the first 500 HR guy (non PED) to not make it. Schwarber and Stanton seem like just the guys to do it.

@CodifyBaseball @notgaetti @baseball_ref @theaceofspaeder @TheWARmonger_ @JessicaDBrand @JackFritzWIP @PhillyFrontO @2008Philz @extrastats @BigLeagueDigest Carlos Delgado was a much better player and hitter and he couldn’t even get to a second year of eligibility (which was a joke). Schwarber has had a nice Phillies career but at this point the overall body of work is definitely not HOF material.

@CodifyBaseball @notgaetti @baseball_ref @theaceofspaeder @TheWARmonger_ @JessicaDBrand @JackFritzWIP @PhillyFrontO @2008Philz @extrastats @BigLeagueDigest Lovely guy. Great teammate. Terrific power. But can you even fathom defending Schwarber’s inclusion and proactively denying Don Mattingly and Dale Murphy’s? Insanity.

$NXXT exploded +134% in just 55 minutes while volume surged past 51.58 million shares traded versus a 65-day average of only 3.14 million. The move was not random. Q1 2026 revenue climbed to $21.1 million from $16.3 million, up 29% year over year, while gross profit jumped to $1.71 million from $518 thousand. Gross margins also expanded sharply from 3.2% to 8.1%, showing the company kept significantly more money from every dollar of sales. The chart showed a vertical breakout followed by consolidation instead of an immediate collapse, which traders watch closely in momentum names. This is why small-cap stocks with rising revenue, improving margins, and extreme relative volume can reprice incredibly fast in a single session. Now traders are watching the next market open closely to see whether momentum and volume continue or fade after one of the wildest moves of the day. $NXXT $NVDA $MSFT $AMD $SMCI $PLTR $TSLA $META $AMZN $GOOGL $AAPL $FCX $HBM $SCCO $TECK $RIO $BHP $NRED $SMR $OKLO $CCJ $LEU $MSTR $COIN $BTC $ETH $SPY $QQQ $DIA $IWM $SOUN $BBAI $IONQ $RKLB $ASTS $HOOD

@CodifyBaseball @notgaetti @baseball_ref @theaceofspaeder @TheWARmonger_ @JessicaDBrand @JackFritzWIP @PhillyFrontO @2008Philz @extrastats @BigLeagueDigest If he ends up with more than 500 home runs, then he will get in.

@CodifyBaseball @notgaetti @baseball_ref @theaceofspaeder @TheWARmonger_ @JessicaDBrand @JackFritzWIP @PhillyFrontO @2008Philz @extrastats @BigLeagueDigest Hall of Very Good. Not HOF worthy, imo

@CodifyBaseball @notgaetti @baseball_ref @theaceofspaeder @TheWARmonger_ @JessicaDBrand @JackFritzWIP @PhillyFrontO @2008Philz @extrastats @BigLeagueDigest Not with that WAR
