"You look at it in the grand scheme of things, out of all the players, a very small number that have ever played in the big leagues, there's not a lot of them that get to arbitration. Then the list gets even smaller of those who get to arbitration, get to free agency. Then the list gets even smaller when you talk about guys who get to 10 years and beyond."
"When you kind of zoom out and look at it from a different perspective, I've done a lot of great things. I've had a pretty good career for myself, made it a lot further than a lot of people can say. I'm definitely proud of that, and want to keep building on it."
Alec Bohm differs from typical 'Make Or Break' candidates who are either struggling prospects, stars recovering from down years, or veterans returning from injury. Bohm has already established himself as a legitimate major league player, earning All-Star status in 2024 and accumulating 8.0 fWAR across 560 games over four seasons as the Phillies' primary third baseman. He maintains an above-average 105 wRC+ offensively and has improved significantly defensively at third base. Bohm recognizes his achievement in reaching arbitration and free agency, accomplishments attained by relatively few players. His challenge involves perception—being viewed as merely adequate rather than recognizing his solid, sustainable major league career trajectory.
