Alec Bohm of the Philadelphia Phillies finally hit his first home run of the 2025 season, a two-run shot against the Tampa Bay Rays. Bohm, who has struggled with a .237 batting average this season, expressed optimism about his performance, stating he feels he is on the right track despite the stats. After earning an All-Star nod last year, expectations are high for him to solidify his role as a top third baseman, and a hot streak could help alleviate trade rumors surrounding him.

His metrics suggest he hasn't declined, indicating that criticism may have been premature. If Bohm can return to form, similar to his 2022-2024 stats, the depth of the Phillies lineup will enhance significantly. The question remains whether this recent home run is a turning point in his season or just a brief bright spot.
