Alec Bohm Stats & Scouting Report — College Baseball, MLB Draft, Prospects

Track Record: After ranking second in the Cape Cod League in batting average (.351) in the summer of 2017, Bohm batted .339/.436/.625 with more walks (39) and extra-base hits (31) than strikeouts (28) for Wichita State his junior year. The Phillies drafted him with the third overall pick and signed him for $5.85 million.

Scouting Report: One of the top hitters in college baseball in 2018, Bohm has an encouraging combination of raw power and pure hitting ability for a big man. At 6-foot-5, he is a strong, physical hitter with fast bat speed and leverage in his swing to generate plus raw power. Bohm has a big strike zone to cover and he manages it well with a keen eye for balls and strikes that improved over the course of his college years. He approaches his at-bats with a smart plan and the ability to make adjustments, despite a soft offensive debut in pro ball. Bohm has a chance to stick at third base, where he has a solid-average arm, but he's a below-average runner whose lack of first-step quickness inhibits his range, so there's some risk he might end up at first base.

The Future: The Phillies sent 2017 first-rounder Adam Haseley to high Class A Clearwater for his first full season, with Bohm likely to follow that same path. If Bohm can stay at third base, he has the offensive upside to be a plus everyday regular at the position.
