Alec Daniel Bohm[1] (born August 3, 1996) is an American professional baseball third baseman for the Philadelphia Phillies of Major League Baseball (MLB).
Born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska, Bohm was a standout hitter for Roncalli Catholic High School but was not selected in the 2015 MLB Draft. Instead, out of high school, he chose to play college baseball for the Wichita State Shockers. Bohm was offensively productive in his three years with the Shockers, maintaining a batting average of over .300 in his tenure. Outside of Wichita State, Bohm also played collegiate summer baseball in both the Coastal Plain League and the Cape Cod Baseball League.
The Phillies selected Bohm third overall in the 2018 MLB draft and he signed with the team that June. The Phillies planned to have him reach Class A in their farm system by the end of 2018, but a knee injury delayed that process. Bohm appeared in the All-Star Futures Game in 2019 and began the 2020 season at an alternate training site after the COVID-19 pandemic forced the cancellation of the Minor League Baseball season.
Bohm made his major league debut in August 2020, and he finished out the season as the Phillies' everyday third baseman. Following a strong rookie season, Bohm started the 2021 MLB season at third base with the Phillies, but several defensive errors and offensive struggles sent him back down to the minors that August. Bohm has been the Phillies starting third baseman since 2022 and he was a crucial factor in the team winning the 2022 National League pennant and reaching the 2023 National League Championship Series. He was named to his first All-Star Game in 2024.
