Joc Pederson has had two recent years very similar to Kyle Schwarber’s. In 2019, Pederson hit .249/.339/.538 with 36 home runs. That was good for 3.2 bWAR. In 2019, Schwarber hit .250/.339/.531 with 38 home runs and 2.1 bWAR.
In the shortened 2020 season, both players declined. Pederson hit .190/.285/.397 with seven home runs in 138 plate appearances. Schwarber hit .188/.308/.393 with 11 home runs in 224 plate appearances. Pederson had -0.3 bWAR; Schwarber, 0.1 bWAR.
