Philadelphia Phillies star Kyle Schwarber made his acting debut on tonight’s episode of Abbott Elementary—and it was filmed the same night he made history by hitting four home runs. While the Abbott cameo was pre-scheduled, Schwarber’s record-setting game wasn’t. But the writers of the Philadelphia-based ABC comedy worked Schwarber’s four-home-run game into the show and score a comedy grand slam in the process.

Schwarber guest-starred on Wednesday’s Abbott episode titled Ballgame. When Ava (Janelle James) invites some of Abbott’s teachers to a Phillies game for Teacher Appreciation Day, Gregory (Tyler James Williams), Melissa (Lisa Ann Walter), Jacob (Chris Perfetti), Mr. Johnson (William Stanford Davis), Barbara (Sheryl Lee Ralph), and a reluctant Janine (Quinta Brunson) score the coveted seats.
While the teachers gear up for the game, Barbara flexes her inside baseball knowledge, hilariously calling herself a “baseball diva” and brazenly revealing the advice she plans to give Schwarber at the evening’s game.
The episode unravels with the razor-sharp comedy fans have come to expect from the ABC hit show, with the added bonus of a hilarious cameo by Schwarber. And while the script references the Phillies slugger hitting four home runs, the stat isn’t fiction—Schwarber’s cameo was filmed the same night he had his historic four-home-run game.

♬ original sound - bleacherreportWednesday’s Ballgame episode of Abbott Elementary was filmed on August 28, 2025, at Citizens Bank Park. With Abbott’s cameras rolling, Schwarber hit not one, but four home runs—becoming just the 21st Major League Baseball player to do so and the fourth Phillies player to accomplish the feat. Not only did Schwarber make history that night, but the Phillies also beat the Atlanta Braves 19–4—and Schwarber made his acting debut.
Who else has guest-starred on Abbott Elementary?
Since Abbott Elementary is set in Philadelphia and based on creator and star Quinta Brunson’s real experiences in the Philadelphia public school system, the show frequently features the city’s most famous faces in guest appearances.
In addition to Schwarber, Philadelphia Eagles superfan Bradley Cooper has appeared on the show, as have former Eagles center Jason Kelce, quarterback Jalen Hurts, and the cast of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
Prior to filming the historic episode, Brunson spoke at San Diego Comic-Con and said the show would be filming a “live event,” stating, “I do think that Philly sports fans will be very happy… and sports fans in general.”
Judging by the Phillies’ score that night and Schwarber’s epic performance, Philly sports fans aren’t the only ones who are happy—Abbott Elementary fans are too.
