Rising Phillies star Alec Bohm describes his rookie season as “humbling.”

Top Philadelphia Phillies hitting prospect Alec Bohm may have only played 44 games this season due to his mid-August call up and debut, but the Wichita State University alumnus surely will be among the conversation for National League Rookie of the Year honors.

Tuesday evening, Bohm joined Sports Radio KFH to discuss his first season in the majors, albeit shortened due to the COVID-19 crisis. The 24-year-old called the experience “humbling,” especially being around veterans who not only he respects, but who also helped him along the way in the transition to Major League Baseball.
