Three years later, everything changed.
Bohm, who just completed his junior year as Wichita State’s third baseman, was drafted Monday by the Philadelphia Phillies with the third overall pick of the 2018 MLB Draft.
Bohm became the 15th Shocker to be drafted in the first round. He also made American Athletic Conference history, becoming the conference’s highest-ever draft pick.
In the 2018 season, Bohm hit .339 , with a team-high 57 runs, 55 RBIs, 14 doubles, 16 home runs, 39 walks, and nine stolen bases.
Bohm was named a second-team All-American by Baseball America, and was a semifinalist for the Golden Spikes Award and the Dick Howser Trophy in his junior campaign.
