- Throughout their college careers, Bohm and outfielder Greyson Jenista received the nickname "The Bash Brothers" from their teammates

- In 54 games with Wilmington, Bohm batted .330, with 11 home runs and 51 RBIs, and Baseball America named him the number one prospect in the CPL.
- Bohm entered the 2017 season with high expectations for his sophomore year.
- A sophomore slump which saw his batting average fall to .240 by April 2 was followed by a 12-game hitting streak that included four home runs, 16 RBIs, three doubles, and nine runs scored.
- By the end of the year, his batting average had climbed to .305, with 11 home runs.
Segment 3: Career with the Phillies
- Bohm had 180 plate appearances in the pandemic-shortened season, in which he batted .338 with four home runs, 23 RBIs, and 24 runs scored.
- He was particularly adept with runners on base, boasting an MLB-leading .452 batting average with runners in scoring position.
- At the end of the season, Bohm tied with San Diego Padres infielder Jake Cronenworth for runner-up in NL Rookie of the Year voting, a title that ultimately went to Devin Williams of the Milwaukee Brewers.
- Bohm received his first opening day start in 2021, where he impressed both offensively and defensively against the Atlanta Braves, first with an inning-ending throw to first baseman Rhys Hoskins, followed by a sixth-inning go-ahead RBI.
- Bohm was the focal point of a controversial call on April 11, 2021, scoring the eventual game-winning run in a victory over the Atlanta Braves.
- Even after his return, Bohm continued to struggle with fielding, particularly with ground balls, and by August, utility player Ronald Torreyes had become the everyday third baseman for the Phillies.
- Bohm batted .247 in 115 games for the Phillies that season, with seven home runs and 47 RBIs in 380 at bats.
- Bohm hit a game-tying home run against Milwaukee Brewers closer Josh Hader.
