One of the bright spots on the Philadelphia Phillies roster has been outfielder Brandon Marsh. Through 37 games, Marsh is leading Major League Baseball in hitting (.353) and is third on the team in RBI (21).

Marsh's turnaround after a demotion to Triple-A last season, when he went 0-for-29 in April, has been remarkable. Showing no signs of slowing down, Marsh received a boost of confidence from his new interim manager, Don Mattingly, and his teammate, designated hitter Kyle Schwarber.

According to Schwarber, Marsh has always had this level of play in him, dating back to when he rejoined the team on May 3, where he's hit .317 with an .852 OPS.

"He's always had it in him. I don't think there's ever been a doubt," said Kyle Schwarber to Jeff Kerr of 97.3 ESPN. "You can even just go back to last year. If you take away April, it's pretty good. It's always been there. I feel the more he's been able to go out there and do his thing and build that confidence and keep with his routine, great things are gonna happen. He has the right approach and he's never rushed up there."
