Alec Bohm on 0-for-20 Slump: “I Debated Cutting My Hair”

The Hair vs. The Beard Debate
As for what would happen first, Bohm cutting his hair, or outfielder and roommate Brandon Marsh cutting his beard, Bohm said, "I don't think that beard is going anywhere anytime soon."
"He would be unrecognizable, that would be weird."
April Struggles, June Surge
Both Bohm and Marsh were unrecognizable at the plate to start the season, struggling out of the gates, but have turned it around in the month of June.
Bohm was hitting just .221 with no home runs and eight RBI after the first month of the season. Meanwhile, Marsh went 0-for-April and had four hits in March, which led to a .095 average with one home run and five RBI.

Since April, Bohm has been one of the Phillies' top hitters, and has raised his batting average up to .290 after hitting .324 in May and .346 so far in June. Marsh has also made a big climb back to respectability, with his average up to .257 and his on-base percentage at .341.
Both guys will be keys to the Phillies making a deep playoff run, with Bohm manning third base and Marsh handling most of the center field duties, platooning with John Rojas.
