VIDEO: Phillies Top Prospect Alec Bohm Belts Walk-Off Homer in 10th Inning
By Parker White
Prospects are suspects until they play in the big leagues and prove their worth, but there's a good chance that Philadelphia Phillies top prospect Alec Bohm is going to be a staple in the middle of their order for years to come. Don't believe me? Check out this clutch walk-off two-run homer in the bottom of the 10th down in Double-A.

Bohm sent @ReadingFightins' fans home happy with a two-run homer, his 17th of the year.

That's Bohm's 17th homer of the season, and his 10th at Double-A Reading. If this clutch homer is any indication, the former 2018 top-three pick might be in Philadelphia sooner than later, especially with the lack of production at the hot corner from the recently-demoted (!) Maikel Franco.
Crazy finish, and probably the best game of the year for the Fightin Phils. They scored twice in the ninth and three times in the 10th, winning it on Alec Bohm's third homer in five games and 17th of the season. #phillies #fightins

If Bohm doesn't getting the starting gig later this summer, he'll be hitting behind Bryce Harper and Rhys Hoskins once the 2020 season rolls around.
