Alec Bohm

Bohm's major league debut was a success, in that he batted a robust .338 with an .881 OPS. But despite hitting the ball hard consistently (his 10.3% barrel rate and 46.8% hard hit percentage was well above the major league average), he hit just four home runs, and his xBA was just .286. The problem is he simply pounded the ball into the ground, putting up a 53.2% ground ball rate and just 4.8 degrees of launch angle. Bohm never showed a ton of power in the minors, but he's just entering his age-25 season, so there's always room for growth. But for redraft leagues, buy him as a high-average bat with unexceptional power.

Alec Bohm misses Saturday's game with an illness

Phillies rookie third baseman Alec Bohm missed Saturday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays due to an illness, according to a report from Todd Zolecki of MLB.com.

Fantasy Impact

It does not sound like Bohm's illness is serious, and it's possible that he is able to return to the lineup as early as Sunday. Through 36 games this season, the rookie is batting an impressive .326 with 20 runs scored, four home runs, 21 RBI, and one stolen base.
