Boehm

Originally a Texas recruit out of high school, Boehm pitched last season at Blinn where he struck out 35 in 44 innings. The third-year sophomore right-hander has a physical presence at 6-foot-5, 250 pounds and a fast arm that produces 93-95 mph fastballs with tail and sink. His slider at 79-81 mph has good spin with deception and late diving action. He pounds the strike zone with two quality pitches and stuff that misses barrels. Power sinker-slider-type guy.

Power sinker-slider-type guy. Needs to develop change. Pounds the strike zone with two quality pitches and stuff that misses barrels. 

Boehm has advanced strength with broad shoulders and a thick frame at 6-foot-3, 245-pound frame. At the South Texas Underclass Games in late July, Boehm put on a power display during batting practice. The right-handed hitter has a simple swing with balance and juice in his bat. After registering a 93 mph exit velocity off the tee, he launched towering home runs deep over the left-field wall with little effort. Boehm also scorched a single past the shortstop on a first pitch fastball in his first plate appearance of the day. At first base, Boehm shows the ability to play low with soft hands out and front and uses solid glove action to make picks at the bag. Average footwork around the bag, clean exchange into a long-¾ arm stroke at 80 mph across the diamond. On the mound, the right-hander has a long, loose, ¾ arm stroke with a slight cross-fire delivery. His fastball comes out of his hand clean and easy and sat mostly 83-85 mph. Showed good feel for spinning the baseball with his slider at 67-69 mph with short, late break and slurvey shape. He also throws a late sinking changeup with fastball arm speed at 79 mph. Look for big things in the future as Boehm, both on the mound and at the plate.
