Although Kyle Schwarber lost weight and looks slimmer in 2018, he’s still a pretty big dude, so when you see him running full speed your way I don’t blame you for running away scared. That is exactly what a security guard did during Saturday night’s game between the Chicago Cubs and Miami Marlins.
On pop fly hit down the left-field line, Schwarber sprinted toward the wall and although he couldn’t make the catch he still provided us with this laugh out loud highlight.

Oh but don’t worry, Schwarber did give Cubs fans a highlight at the plate, hitting a home run halfway to Cuba.

Schwarber also doubled later in the game and if you’re wondering whether or not the skinny version of the slugger is actually making him faster, the answer is yes.
And he’s still hitting the crap out of the ball too.
According to Statcast, Schwarber's 115.7-mph double would rank as his 2nd hardest hit ball of 2017. His 8.23 sec time from home to second was the fastest Statcast has tracked him at. #Cubs

Solid game for Schwarber and the Cubs, who won 10-6 in 10 innings. Definitely a night that security guard will remember.
