Kyle Schwarber has 3 seasons of 45 or more homers in his 4 years with the Phillies. He is the only player in baseball to do that. Only one other active player has 3 seasons of 45 homers and that is Aaron Judge. Mike Schmidt had 3 seasons of 45 homers. The only Phillies player in franchise history with more is Ryan Howard (4)
