Alec Bohm
Alec Daniel Bohm (born August 3, 1996) is an American professional baseball player who is a third baseman for the Philadelphia Phillies of Major League Baseball (MLB).
Bohm played college baseball for the Wichita State Shockers, and was selected third overall by the Phillies in the 2018 MLB draft. He made his MLB debut in 2020, and he finished out the season as the Phillies' everyday third baseman. Bohm helped the Phillies reach the World Series in 2022. In 2024, he was named to his first All-Star Game.
Bohm was born on August 3, 1996, in Omaha, Nebraska, the son of Dan and Lisa Bohm. In high school, Bohm was a power hitter for the Roncalli Catholic baseball team in Omaha; in his final two seasons, he boasted a batting average of .533 and .526, respectively, and he was named an All-Nebraska player by the Omaha World-Herald for both seasons. In 2015, the summer after his senior year of high school, Bohm both won the Connie Mack World Series Home Run Derby and tied for fourth place at the Triple-A Home Run Derby in Werner Park.
Despite being rated by the Perfect Game baseball scouting service as the number one baseball player from the state of Nebraska, no Major League Baseball (MLB) team selected Bohm in the 2015 MLB Draft. Part of the problem was a growth spurt during Bohm's senior year of high school, which left him "in that awkward stage", as high school coach Jake Hoover referred to it, when baseball scouts came to visit. Bohm wished to remain in Nebraska for college, but was not recruited by the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Instead, he accepted a scholarship offer to play college baseball for the Wichita State Shockers.
Bohm's college baseball career at Wichita State began when he hit a home run in his first at bat. Throughout their college careers, Bohm and outfielder Greyson Jenista received the nickname "The Bash Brothers" from their teammates, a reference to their respective offensive capabilities. Bohm often batted third in the lineup, after leadoff hitter Luke Ritter and Jenista. As a freshman during the 2016 season, Bohm batted .303, with six home runs and 30 runs batted in (RBIs), enough to receive first-team Freshman All-American honors from Collegiate Baseball Newspaper. That summer, he played for the Wilmington Sharks of the Coastal Plain League (CPL), where he both appeared in the CPL All-Star Game and defeated Dillon Stewart in the home run derby. In 54 games with Wilmington, Bohm batted .330, with 11 home runs and 51 RBIs, and Baseball America named him the number one prospect in the CPL.
Following his freshman performance, Bohm entered the 2017 season with high expectations for his sophomore year. A sophomore slump which saw his batting average fall to .240 by April 2 was followed by a 12-game hitting streak that included four home runs, 16 RBIs, three doubles, and nine runs scored. By the end of the year, his batting average had climbed to .305, with 11 home runs. After the season, Bohm played collegiate summer baseball for the Falmouth Commodores of the Cape Cod Baseball League (CCBL), where he was named a league all-star, was ranked second in the league with a .351 batting average and 28 RBIs, and was tied for fifth in the league with five home runs. Commodores coach Jeff Trundy praised Bohm's performance in the summer league, saying that he "showed [...] that he can hit the best college pitching in the country".
As a junior during the 2018 season, Bohm continued to produce at the plate, batting .339 and leading Wichita State with 55 RBIs and 14 doubles. His 57 runs scored and 16 home runs, meanwhile, led not just Wichita State but the entire American Athletic Conference. His plate discipline received particular attention, as Bohm drew 39 walks that season, and struck out only 28 times in 224 at bats. In addition to being named a Second-Team All-American by Baseball America, Bohm was a semifinalist for both the Golden Spikes Award and the Dick Howser Trophy, given to exemplar college baseball players. Despite his offensive production, there were concerns about Bohm's defensive ability at third base: in addition to committing 14 errors, his fielding percentage was only .899 for the year.
In three years with Wichita State, Bohm had a lifetime .317 batting average, as well as 40 doubles, 33 home runs, and 126 RBIs.
