Third baseman Alec Bohm, selected third overall by the Phillies in the first round of the 2018 First-Year Player Draft, has agreed to terms with the club, Johnny Almaraz, Director of Amateur Scouting, announced today.
Bohm, 21, batted .339 (76-224) with 14 doubles, a triple, 16 home runs, 55 RBI, 39 walks, 57 runs, nine stolen bases, a .436 on-base percentage and a .625 slugging percentage during the 2018 campaign for Wichita State. He was leading the American Athletic Conference in home runs at the time the Shockers' season concluded, was tied for first in total bases (140) and ranked in the top five in hits, RBI, on-base percentage and slugging percentage.
A native of Omaha, Neb., Bohm was named a Baseball America Second-Team All-American, as well as a semifinalist for both the Dick Howser Trophy, given to the nation's college player of the year, and the Golden Spikes Award.
In addition to Bohm, the club has come to terms with three more of its top eight selections, and 20 of its 38 overall selections thus far.
