Kyle Bishop profiles Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm as a waiver wire pickup and add in Week 7 of the 2020 MLB season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues
OWNED IN: 22% of leagues
ANALYSIS: A quiet week has his overall numbers looking a little less impressive than before, but rookie Alec Bohm looks like the real deal. After going 3-for-3 and hitting his first major league home run last Sunday, the 24-year-old was hitting .344 with a .993 OPS through 10 games. He has only played four games since and logged just a pair of hits in those contests, though both resulted in a RBI.
While 14 games is obviously a small sample, Bohm's Statcast profile paints a rosy picture. He's carrying a 12.2% barrel rate, 48.8% Hard Hit, and an expected wOBA 60 points above his actual mark. Combine that with excellent plate discipline (eight strikeouts against seven walks) and it's not hard to see why he's considered one of the game's top prospects. You can add him for free in over three-quarters of Yahoo leagues currently.
