About Alec Bohm
Alec Daniel Bohm (born August 3, 1996) is an American professional baseball first baseman for the Philadelphia Phillies of Major League Baseball (MLB). He has also represented USA Baseball in international competition. Born and raised in Nebraska, Bohm was not drafted out of Roncalli Catholic High School in 2015. Instead, he played three seasons of college baseball for the Wichita State Shockers. At the end of this time, the Phillies selected Bohm third overall in the 2018 MLB draft. He rose quickly through Philadelphia's farm system, making his MLB debut in 2020. That year, he was the runner-up for Rookie of the Year. In 2024, Bohm made his first MLB All-Star Game appearance, also participating in that year's Home Run Derby. 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. Bohm's college baseball career at Wichita State began when he hit a home run in his first at bat. 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.
