Alec Bohm will almost certainly be the Philadelphia Phillies opening day third baseman in 2021. Beyond that, his defensive future remains very much in flux.
Though he’s still developing some power, Bohm was an immediate impact addition to the lineup in his rookie season, slashing .338/.400/.481 with 23 RBIs and an .881 OPS in his first 160 at-bats at the major league level. Notably, he was especially clutch in his first taste of the majors, hitting .452 and driving in 18 runs with runners in scoring position.
However, while Bohm shined at the plate, he had some glaring defensive miscues in 2020.
