The Philadelphia Phillies drafted Alec Bohm out of Wichita State with the third overall pick in 2018 as what would be a new cornerstone for the Fightins’ franchise. He rushed through the minors and wound up finishing second in NL Rookie of the Year voting in 2020. In 2024, his fifth major league season, it is all coming together for Bohm, and he has fully broken out.
Bohm has not been a bad player by any means, though. He has had an up and down career, even earning boos from Phillies fans, but he has been a league average hitter since he came up. In his first four seasons, Bohm had posted a career 101 OPS+ with a .731 OPS. While he hasn’t been the biggest home run threat, he has been a doubles machine in the middle of the Philadelphia lineup.
