Background
Born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska, Bohm grew up in the heartland of the country and developed his love for baseball early. The Phillies selected him in the first round of the 2018 MLB Draft, making him one of the crown jewels of Philadelphia’s farm system at the time. He didn’t wait long to arrive in the big leagues, debuting just two years later and quickly locking down the starting job at third base.
Professional Career
Bohm’s 2024 campaign was his strongest yet: .280 AVG, 15 home runs, 97 RBI, and a .780 OPS. Those figures made him one of the Phillies’ most reliable run producers and solidified his role in the heart of the order.
In 2025, he kept the consistency going — .287 AVG, 11 home runs, 59 RBI, .740 OPS — even if the power numbers dipped slightly. Then 2026 brought a tougher stretch: his average fell to .230 with 13 home runs, pointing to some struggles at the plate that the organization has been working to address.
Throughout it all, Bohm has been defined by his ability to drive in runs and hold down the hot corner. A right-handed hitter and thrower, he gives the Phillies a steady presence both offensively and defensively.

Awards and Milestones
Bohm hasn’t yet added individual hardware like an MVP or Silver Slugger to his résumé, but six straight seasons as Philadelphia’s starting third baseman speaks for itself. His 2024 season — 97 RBI — stands as the clearest proof that he can be a genuine run-producer when he’s locked in.
Under the Radar
For a starting third baseman on a perennial contender, Bohm has always kept a relatively low public profile. His game is built on steady work and a genuine drive to improve — qualities that have kept him in the Phillies’ lineup through the good years and the harder ones alike.
