Alec Bohm will enter play Saturday hitting .290 with a .721 OPS. When you compare the 25-year-old’s offensive production with what he did in a disappointing 2021 season, the Philadelphia Phillies have to be encouraged that Bohm is consistently putting the ball on the bat again.
Still, it feels like there’s another offensive level for Bohm to reach, one that features him driving the ball more consistently — sometimes into the gaps, and other times into the stands. Maybe even both on occasion.
No one is suggesting that Bohm become a three-true outcome player. Hitting singles is good, and Bohm does that really well.
