PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Wichita State All-America third baseman Alec Bohm and USF southpaw Shane McClanahan were each selected in the First Round of the Major League Baseball Draft Monday. Bohm was the third overall pick in the draft and selected by the Philadelphia Phillies, while McClanahan was the 31st overall pick and selected by the Tampa Bay Rays. Bohm, who led The American in runs scored (57) and home runs (16), becomes the highest player drafted in conference history.
Furthermore, the two first-round picks are the most in American Athletic Conference history, as the league has seen at least one of its players get selected in the MLB first round in each of the past four seasons.
