MLB playoffs: How the Phillies’ Alec Bohm learned to overcome the ‘valleys’ to prove he belongs

Alec Bohm was benched by Joe Girardi and didn't start at third base for a week. He has since improved and is now a regular in the Philadelphia Phillies' lineup. The team is playing in a National League Division Series against the Atlanta Braves. The manager Rob Thomson is also to blame for Bohm's development. Austin Riley was compared to Bohanom in this regard. Riley became a star third baseman for the Braves and Bohnom a passable third-base player. It's ironic that the team's game against Atlanta is in their divisional round. They are playing for their lives.

Alec Bohm is playing for the Philadelphia Phillies in the playoffs. He was playing in triple A baseball before. Bohm was struggling in April and May, but he improved in June, July and August. Rhys Hoskins says Bohan had to learn to overcome the valleys. Bohnh made a great play on Saturday in St. Louis. It was the kind of play that Nolan Arenado makes all the time for Cardinals. The play was made by Bahnh. His team won the game. They are playing the Cardinals in a playoff game on Sunday. A win would give them a place in World Series. For Bhanh, it would be a dream come true.
