For now, Alec Bohm will have to play third base. But is there a long-term fit?

New Philadelphia Phillies hitting coach Kevin Long appears to have helped Alec Bohm move beyond a miserable sophomore campaign offensively that saw him post a meager .647 OPS.

But with Bohm off to a scorching-hot start at the plate in 2022, you’re increasingly left to wonder if the former first-round pick is auditioning for other teams.

Bohm is currently slashing .476/.483/.714 with seven RBIs and a 1.197 OPS in 11 games this season. Despite not having enough at-bats to count as a qualified player right now, Bohm is tied with J.T. Realmuto for the second highest fWAR on the team currently at 0.
