NEW YORK — If Alec Bohm knew exactly what was behind his struggles at the plate, he wouldn’t be making outs.
There was a time this season when Bohm was as hard of an out as it gets. In an 18-game span from April 16 to May 5, Bohm collected 32 hits, was on base in 50 percent of his at-bats and slugged .754 with a 1.254 OPS. Only Mookie Betts finished April with a higher OPS than Bohm.
It’s been a struggle for Bohm since then. His early-season hot streak led him to his first All-Star selection and an opportunity to hit in the Home Run Derby, but he has not come close to resembling the hitter he was in the first few months of the season.
