Phillies vs Yankees: Alec Bohm's Batting Might Takes Center Stage

As the Phillies gear up to face the Yankees in what promises to be an electrifying game at Citizens Bank Park, all eyes are on Alec Bohm, whose recent performances have been nothing short of spectacular. Bohm, playing as the third baseman for the Phillies, has shown exceptional skills, especially in the game against the Guardians where he boasted a .750 batting average with a home run and an RBI, culminating in an OPS of 2.25.

Bohm's prowess isn't limited to a single game; over the last three games, he has maintained a .500 batting average with consistent hits and an impressive OPS of 1.25. His ability to maintain high on-base and slugging percentages showcases his invaluable contribution to the Phillies' lineup.


On the Yankees' side, Aaron Judge has been a force to reckon with. Despite not having standout moments in recent games like Bohm, Judge's overall performance remains crucial for the Yankees. His presence in center field and his batting capabilities make him a player that could significantly impact the game's outcome.

Another notable player from the Phillies is Brandon Marsh, who demonstrated his hitting capabilities by maintaining a .250 batting average with one home run and two RBIs across recent games. His performance adds depth to the Phillies' offensive strategy.


The Yankees have seen commendable performances from players like Gleyber Torres and DJ LeMahieu as well. Torres showcased his skill set by hitting a .400 average with one home run and two RBIs in one of the previous games, proving his potential to change game dynamics at any moment.
