Scouts appear to be fans of his natural power, which is encouraging. Due to his age and experience already at the college level, Bohm looks like a prospect that should transition pretty quickly into the Phillies farm system, and his path to the majors may not take too long. With questions continuing to surround what the Phillies will eventually do with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/f\/francma02.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Maikel Franco<\/a> and the current conversations about the team potentially making a splash signing of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/m\/machama01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Manny Machado<\/a>, it may not be a shock to see the Phillies go for a third baseman with their high draft pick.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Looking good. \ud83d\udc4c <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/WraSdfe4My\">pic.twitter.com\/WraSdfe4My<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Philadelphia Phillies (@Phillies) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Phillies\/status\/1003783831755911168?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 4, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Something to keep in mind, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegoodphight.com\/2018\/6\/4\/17427480\/phillies-select-alec-bohm-3b-in-first-round\">as The Good Phight makes note<\/a>, is the possibility Bohm eventually makes a move over to first base due to some concerns about his defensive ability at third. That would actually be a solid plan of attack if you suspect it may be a couple of seasons before Bohm makes his big league debut. It allows the team&#8217;s current contract with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/search\/search.fcgi?pid=santaca01,santan005car&amp;search=Carlos+Santana&amp;utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Carlos Santana<\/a> to run down (Santana is under contract through 2020 with a team option for 2021) while also not having a potential addition of Machado blocking a path to the majors for Bohm if everything goes according to plan with his progression.<\/p>\n<p>Bohm is the second-highest position player drafted in the history of the Wichita State baseball program.
