Yeah it is definitely a disadvantage when you hit 12 homers at a position where others hit 35, especially since guys like Arenado and machado can hit for average too.

With bohm it would be better if he could hit for power, at 110 max he should be able to hit around 30 bombs but he has some sequencing and movement flaws that prevent him from pulling the ball in the air effectively.

I know ochart has been working on that with him. Couple years ago I shot ochart a message half jokingly he needs to kvest his lead arm and he said they were doing it already so I just assume bohm wasn't able to make that change.

So maybe for him specifically it was better to use that oppo approach than to hit tons of hard grounders into the shift and occasionally running into one.

Of course the ideal solution would have been to optimize his movements so he can hit at similar launch angles to all fields but sometimes it doesn't work and you have to take what you can get.
