Kyle Schwarber’s rookie season hit an apex, quite literally, when his arching home run landed atop the right field video board, helping the Cubs to eliminate the Cardinals in the 2015 National League Division Series. The blast enshrined him — and the ball — further into Cubbie lore. And now after missing nearly the entire 2016 season and two playoff rounds with a torn ACL, Schwarber is back in the lineup for the World Series. Here are the slugger’s 21 home runs from 2015 plotted by where they were hit and how far.
