If someone were to tell you following the 2020 season that Alec Bohm would be starting the All-Star Game in 2024, you would have little cause for surprise. Bohm had just wrapped up an abridged but impressive rookie campaign that saw him post a .338/.400/.481 line and be named co-runner-up for National League Rookie of the Year (the best finish for a Phillie since J.A. Happ did the same in 2009). He certainly looked like a shot in the arm for a franchise that was approaching a decade without the postseason, and there was every reason to feel optimistic.
