T.J. Bohn

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked Seattle Mariners #20 prospect in 2006
  Bohn has had one of the system's better packages of tools since coming out of NCAA Division II Bellevue (Neb.) in 2002. He transferred to Bellevue after Iowa State shuttered its program in 2001. He finally delivered a performance to match his tools last year, reaching Triple-A (where he bashed three homers in the Pacific Coast League playoffs) and getting added to the 40-man roster. Bohn has hitting aptitude and a fair amount of power in his 6- foot-5, 205-pound frame. He has become more aggressive about looking for pitches to drive, and he'd hit more homers if he had more loft in his swing. Improved selectivity and contact also would help. He has good speed for his size and runs well once he gets going on the bases. Bohn's long strides allow him to cover enough ground to play center field, and his jumps and routes are strong as well. He's the system's best defensive outfielder and also has one of the best arms, making him a good fit in right field. He's 26 and may not become a regular in the majors, but he could have a career as a fourth outfielder with pop in the Gabe Kapler/Jayson Werth mold. Bohn will attend his first big league camp this spring.
