Schwarber played college baseball for the Indiana Hoosiers and was selected by the Cubs in the first round of the 2014 MLB draft. He made his MLB debut with the Cubs in 2015 and was a member of the Cubs’ 2016 World Series championship team. In 2021, Schwarber signed with the Nationals and was later traded to the Red Sox; he also made his first All-Star appearance.

Schwarber signed with the Phillies in 2022. He led the National League in home runs that season, earned his second All-Star appearance and his first Silver Slugger Award, and played with the Phillies during the 2022 World Series. Schwarber was again named an All-Star in 2025, winning the game's MVP Award. Following the 2025 postseason, he holds the all-time records for most National League Championship Series home runs (11), most postseason home runs by a left-handed batter (23), and most postseason leadoff home runs (5). His 23 postseason home runs are also tied with George Springer for the third most in MLB history. Known for his powerful, hard-hit home runs and high walk rate in contrast to his low batting average, Schwarber has the distinction of being the only player to hit a home run in the Little League World Series, in the World Series, and in the World Baseball Classic championship game. On August 28, 2025, Schwarber became the 21st player in MLB history to hit four home runs in one game.
