Daily News | Studying Miguel Cabrera helped Alec Bohm become one of the best with runners in scoring position
Yong Kim / Staff Photographer / Yong Kim / Staff PhotographerWhen Alec Bohm was a young infielder at Wichita State, his hitting coach, Brian Walker, showed him video clips of Miguel Cabrera. Walker did show him clips of Cabrera hitting solo home runs, although the Tigers infielder had plenty of them. He showed clips of Cabrera hitting with runners in scoring position.
Bohm’s situational hitting has been as pivotal as ever this season, at a time when some of his veteran teammates are underperforming. Going into Monday’s games, he ranks second in baseball in hits with runners in scoring position , and fourth in hits with runners in scoring position with two outs . He’s batting .363/.409/.487 in those spots.
“If we didn’t get the job done, then we would run,” Bohm said. “And if you weren’t able to move runners over, and drive runners in, then you didn’t really play that much. It wasn’t as likely that your name would be in the lineup. That was how I was taught to hit.“If you played the game the right way and helped us win, you would play. If you didn’t play the game the right way, you wouldn’t play.
