Alec Bohm 2024 Player Outlook: A Reliable Source of Batting Average
11 months agoPhiladelphia Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm continued to progress in 2023, putting up a career-high 20 home runs while cutting his strikeout rate to 15.4%. Bohm's biggest strength at the plate may be his ability to hit for average, with the third baseman posting a .274 AVG in a year where the league average was .248. There may even be room for growth with his average since Bohm had a .290 xBA and a career-low .296 BABIP (career .321 BABIP). A .290 hitter is a rare thing in today's game, making Bohm a reliable, if boring, option at the hot corner for fantasy managers. He should be a solid source of batting average and RBI while throwing 15-20 home runs in the mix as well. ATC projections are on board with this assessment and predict Bohm to hit .274 with 20 home runs, 97 RBI, and four stolen bases over 558 at-bats in 2024. With a current ADP of 149, Bohm is a fairly priced fantasy asset and is a solid pick in the middle rounds heading into 2024 fantasy baseball drafts.
