Alec Bohm's terrible start to 2026 is worst in Phillies history since 1920

The Philadelphia Phillies are one of the longest tenured franchises in Major League Baseball, and there's plenty of interesting history associated with the team.

And since the live ball era began in 1920, there are plenty of fascinating statistics that are noteworthy. But, not all of the history is a good thing. Alec Bohm is experiencing that this season.

As Todd Zolecki of MLB.com shared, Bohm's terrible start to the 2026 season is the worst from a hitter through the first 23 games of a season the Phillies franchise has ever seen in the live ball era.

Alec Bohm is off to worst start in live-ball era Phillies history

"Alec Bohm went 0 for 3 tonight. His .384 OPS is the lowest in the Phillies' first 23 games (minimum 75 plate appearances) in the live ball era (since 1920)," Zolecki shared.

This start to the season for Bohm has been absolutely terrible. He hit an opening day three-run homer, and since then has been incredibly cold.

On the year, through 88 plate appearances, Bohm is hitting .128 with a .205 on-base percentage and a .179 slugging percentage, which is good for the .384 OPS that's the worst for a Phillies hitter through the first 23 games of the season since 1920.

Last season, he finished the year with a .741 OPS, and in his 2024 All-Star season, he had a .779 OPS, which is more than double his OPS this season so far.

He began the year with the Rangers series with an .885 OPS. But, since then, across the previous 19 games, Bohm is hitting just .118 with a .306 OPS.

Since April 8th, Bohm has a .051 batting average with a .165 OPS. He's been a complete liability at the plate, and these statistics highlight just how bad Bohm has been.

Bohm has been the worst hitter over the last 106 years (since the live ball era began in 1920) in the Phillies franchise history with his .384 OPS.
