Daily News | Alec Bohm has progressed from hater to hitter, turning early-season boos to cheers
The ballpark was rocking, everyone was standing, and fireworks were shooting into the Tuesday night sky while Alec Bohm circled the bases and thought back to that night in April.
Rob Thomson has repeatedly said this postseason that Bohm has improved more in one year than any other player he’s ever coached. Bohm worked early every afternoon with Bobby Dickerson, the team’s infield coach who helped Manny Machado when he was breaking in with Baltimore. Bohm allowed himself to fail in practice, challenging himself to be able to make the plays when they mattered.A 10-year-old Phillies fan gets national attention trying to catch Brandon Marsh’s home run
“It’s mentally and emotionally,” Thomson said. “If he makes a mistake now he moves on. Where before it might take two or three days to come out of it. He’s really grown for me as a player and a person and I can’t be more proud of him.” The Phillies have relied this season on production from young players like Bryson Stott, Matt Vierling, Nick Maton, and Brandon Marsh. Perhaps there is something those young players can glean by seeing Bohm -- who is the third-youngest hitter on the roster -- fight to steady his career after the walls were closing in.
