After one of the Philadelphia Phillies star players has turned into one of the best hitters in the game through the first part of the season, this metric could explain how that happened.
Losing streaks happen, and just because it hasn't happened much for the Phillies this year, doesn't mean this drop in play is cause for alarm.The 27-year-old has had a breakout season for Philadelphia. He sits with the fourth-most RBI in Major League Baseball, while leading in doubles , and is inside the Top-25 of batting average , on-base percentage , and slugging percentage for qualified hitters.Over his last seven games, he's slashing .154/.214/.
Poor hitting streaks happen over the course of this long season, so there shouldn't be alarm bells going off about Bohm. In fact, there are some advanced statistics that suggest what he did earlier in the year could be sustainable. Interesting way to look at Alec Bohm's progression: he's really leaning into the power pull/center, and stopped trying to hit hard oppo, because it wasn't really working.When taking a look at this, the Phillies' infielder has clearly focused on hitting the ball to his pull side and center field. The exit velocity for the baseballs hit in those zones are the highest of his career, a great sign that this new approach has had early success.
