Draft and minor leagues
The Chicago Cubs of Major League Baseball (MLB) selected Schwarber in the first round, fourth overall, of the 2014 MLB Draft. He signed with the team on June 11 for a signing bonus of $3.125 million, well below the $4.6 million allotted for such a high draft pick, and he was assigned to the Class A Short Season Boise Hawks of the Northwest League. Schwarber played only five games for Boise, during which he batted .600 with four home runs and 10 RBI, before he was promoted to the Low-A Kane County Cougars of the Midwest League.

Washington Nationals
On January 9, 2021, Schwarber signed a one-year, $10 million contract with the Washington Nationals, with an $11.5 million mutual option for 2022. After beginning the 2021 MLB season on the COVID-19 injured list, Schwarber made his Nationals debut on April 16, hitting a walk-off home run off of Alex Young to defeat the Arizona Diamondbacks 1-0. He had a slow start to the season, batting .218 in April and May. On June 13, Nationals manager Dave Martinez moved Schwarber to the leadoff hitter spot in the hopes that doing so would generate more offense. After that point, Schwarber joined Barry Bonds and Sammy Sosa as the third player to hit 15 home rns in a 17-game span.

Boston Red Sox (2021)
On July 29, 2021, the Nationals traded Schwarber to the Boston Red Sox in exchange for pitching prospect Aldo Ramirez. The Red Sox had entered the MLB trading deadline looking for a left-handed power hitter and had been unable to acquire Anthony Rizzo, who instead went to the rival New York Yankees. His team debut was delayed after suffering a groin injury during rehabilitation for his hamstring. Schwarber made his Boston debut on August 13, walking twice and scoring two runs as the designated hitter in an 8–1 win over the Baltimore Orioles.

Philadelphia Phillies
On March 20, 2022, Schwarber signed a four-year, $79 million contract with the Philadelphia Phillies. Facing off against Frankie Montas of the Oakland Athletics as the Phillies' Opening Day leadoff hitter, Schwarber hit a home run in his first at-bat for his new team. On April 24, Schwarber was ejected in the ninth inning of a 1–0 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers for arguing with home plate umpire Ángel Hernández over the strike zone. Between the two teams, six players had struck out on called third strikes that were outside the zone. The incident went viral, in part due to Hernández's controversial reputation when calling balls and strikes.
