Alec Bohm Collects Two Hits In Win Versus Nats
3 years agoPhiladelphia Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm went 2-for-5 with an RBI in a win over the Nationals on Monday. Bohm has a solid .254 batting average, but he's not hitting for much power as he's slugging just .354. Part of the problem has been too many grounders as Bohm's 5.3-degree launch angle and 53% ground ball rate won't get it done. The sophomore hits the ball hard; his average exit velocity is in the top-10% of all hitters and he's got a 50% hard-hit rate. If Bohm can elevate the ball more he could be a star. As it stands, he's a solid corner infield option in 12-team leagues and can be started with three more good matchups versus the Nationals lined up.
