Phillies To Sign First-Round Pick Alec Bohm

By Jeff Todd | June 11, 2018 at 5:40pm CDT

MONDAY: Bohm’s agreement is “done,” Heyman tweets, and will come in at $5.85MM.

FRIDAY: The Phillies have agreed to a bonus amount with top draft choice Alec Bohm, per Jon Heyman of Fan Rag (via Twitter). When the deal is finalized, Bohm is expected to receive a bonus in the range of $6MM.

Bohm went to Philadelphia with the third overall pick, which comes with a $6,947,500 slot allocation. His agreed-upon amount, then, will leave the club with an additional $1MM or so with which to sign other draftees.

A third baseman from Wichita State, Bohm was widely tabbed as a top-ten draft prospect entering the festivities. The Fangraphs prospect evaluators were highest on him, rating him third on their board, while ESPN.com’s Keith Law graded him at #5 and MLB.com and Baseball America both placed him seventh.

All agree that Bohm is a top-flight hitting prospect, as he delivers both impeccable plate discipline and substantial raw power. There’s some disagreement, though, as to whether he’ll be able to remain at the hot corner in the long run given his big frame. Fangraphs believes he “has the hands, arm, and athleticism to handle third,” while MLB.com is significantly less bullish on his tools in the field.

    Bohm opened the MLB Draft show telling the lady in the blue dress how big of a Yankees fan he is and how his mother is too.

    Have they played that video in Philly yet?

      That’s an atrocity! As a Phillies fan, I’m absolutely appalled that they weren’t attending Phillies games and rooting the team on from birth. If I knew that before the draft I would’ve called Matt Klentak and told him he better not draft this guy and his mom. Do you think he and his mom will wear Yankees uniforms when they play for the Phillies? I hope they don’t but I’m worried.

        Pretty sure Klentak was born wearing a Phils polo and pullover too.

        He never worked for anyone else.

      I’ll bet you still sit and wonder why it is that you were never taken seriously in your goal to be a baseball journalist. SMDH.

      The will to win trumps any childhood allegiance unless you are drafted by the Miami (putrid in perpetuity) Marlins.
