On Monday evening, a professional baseball team will draft Wichita State third baseman Alec Bohm and he will sign a contract with that team, perhaps within a few weeks.
That is the routine for first-round draft picks, who rarely turn down the money and prestige that go with that selection. Bohm, a junior from Omaha, is expected to become the 15thWichita State product to go in the first round, the sixth as a position player.
The first is outfielder Joseph Krsnich, who wanted to play college basketball, never played baseball at Wichita State and turned down the New York Yankees after they picked him No.
