Kyle Schwarber will defer his Indiana University Hall of Fame selection because of attendance rule
Indiana's induction is set for Sept. 5, a day Schwarber's Philadelphia Phillies visit the Miami Marlins as they attempt to win their second straight NL East title. Schwarber was selected in his first year of eligibility. Indiana's athletic department announced the selections on Thursday.
Schwarber was one of the school's biggest baseball stars, leading the Hoosiers to two Big Ten regular-season and tournament titles while ranking among career leaders in hits (238), home runs (40), runs (182) and slugging percentage (.607) while batting .341.
He was drafted by the Chicago Cubs in 2014, made his major league debut the following June and helped the Cubs win the World Series in 2016.
This season, the 32-year-old Schwarber ranks among the major league leaders with 37 home runs. He hit home runs on all three of his swings in the first All-Star Game swing-off to give the National League a victory over the American League.
The three-time All-Star has 321 home runs and 738 RBIs in 11 seasons with the Cubs, Washington Nationals, Boston Red Sox and Phillies.
Schwarber was the headliner of Indiana's seven-member Hall of Fame class.
The other selections are Cody Zeller, who has spent the last 11 seasons playing in the NBA, All-American rower Meradith Dickensheets, 2008 NCAA wrestling champion Angel Escobedo, former football star Mel Groomes, five-time track and field All-American Glenn Terry and Peggy Martin, a pioneering three-sport star in field hockey, women's basketball and softball from 1969-72.

Carlos Correa Issues First Remarks on Shocking Trade Back to Astros
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Carlos Correa plays for the Houston Astros again. It just sounds right. Correa was traded by the Minnesota Twins only 2 1/2 years into his six-year, $200 million contract. He'll re-join the team that selected him first overall in the 2012 draft, and brought him his lone World Series ring in 2017. It was a homecoming in every way. Correa told reporters he was excited to bring his family back to the place they lived for most of his career, and that his parents still lived in the area, so they'd be able to come to many more games. DENVER, CO - JULY 20: Carlos Correa #4 of the Minnesota Twins jogs off the field after the sixth inning against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field on July 20, 2025 in Denver, Colorado. (Photo... DENVER, CO - JULY 20: Carlos Correa #4 of the Minnesota Twins jogs off the field after the sixth inning against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field on July 20, 2025 in Denver, Colorado. (Photo by) More And the way Correa facilitated the trade to Houston, as it turned out, was something out of a movie. On Thursday, in an interview with Brian McTaggart, Correa said he not only told Minnesota's front office he wanted a trade, but said he was only willing to accept one to the Astros. "I had some conversations with the front office in Minnesota and we were not moving in the direction that I thought we were after the playoffs (in 2023), and they agreed with me that it was time to move me," Correa said, according to McTaggart. "I let them know there was only one team I would allow that to happen." Plus, the 30-year-old Correa said he's looking forward to switching to third base, which he eventually wanted to do in Minnesota as well, to accommodate his replacement at shortstop in Houston, Jeremy Peña. Though it hasn't been a strong season at the plate for Correa so far, he's hopeful a return to Daikin Park will reinvigorate his bat. And the Astros are getting back one of the most prolific postseason players ever, just in time for the playoff chase. "It's going to be electric," Correa said, per McTaggart. "It's going to be a lot of fun and I cannot wait to get started with the guys again. I'm coming home and there's only one goal in mind and that's to win championships."
