Kyle Schwarber is on track to become a household name this season, but the 24-year-old hitting machine apparently still isn’t all that well-known in baseball circles.

White Sox lefty Derek Holland served up a long ball to the Cubs’ slugger on Friday, but he was slightly confused when asked it about afterward.

“Hats off to 'Schreiber;' I think that’s how you say his name, right?” Holland said, via the Chicago Tribune. “Good pitch. He turned on it. He was probably looking for it.”
