Forever in our heart : Alec bohm head coach is fired due to……
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Alec Bohm isn’t necessarily a power hitter, yet the Phillies’ third baseman will take a swing at the Home Run Derby next week. The first-time All-Star will give the derby a try, despite having the lowest number of homers (11) in the eight-man field.
Bohm has never hit more than 20 dingers in a season (accomplished the feat last year) but is slugging a career-high .824. His home run totals and slugging percentage have gone up every season since taking over the third base job for good in 2022, even though being a power hitter wasn’t why he was selected to the All-Star Game.
If he wants to do it, that’s fine with me,” Phillies manager Rob Thomson said before Thursday’s series finale against the Los Angeles Dodgers. “I think it will be good for him. It puts him in the limelight a little bit.”
