Phillies' Bohm: From Slump to Star Ahead of Free Agency
16 Sep
Summary
- Alec Bohm rebounded significantly in the second half of the season.
- Bohm is set to become a free agent at the end of the season.
- Phillies need right-handed hitters and Bohm's value has increased.
The Philadelphia Phillies are in the midst of a crucial stretch in their regular season, with just 12 games remaining. The team recently had a day off before facing the Washington Nationals in a two-game series. These games are vital for the Phillies as they navigate a tight wild card race and a challenging remaining schedule.
A significant storyline for the Phillies has been the resurgence of former All-Star Alec Bohm. After a poor start to the year, Bohm has delivered strong offensive production, particularly in the second half. His performance in August, batting .327 with 17 RBIs, and a near-.900 OPS in September highlight his turnaround.
As the Phillies focus on their playoff push, they also face a looming decision regarding Bohm's future. He will be a free agent after this season, and his improved performance has made him a valuable prospect on the market. The team's need for right-handed hitting power makes retaining Bohm an increasingly attractive option.
