Signed away from Oregon State for $525,000 in 2013, Bohn will man shortstop at Double-A Jacksonville in 2015 after delivering a strong full-season debut between two Class A levels. While he doesn't have flashy tools, with average range and arm strength, scouts watching him over a five-game series see him make all the plays at shortstop and consistently drive balls to the gaps. Bohn hits for a solid average from a simple set-up and level swing, and the Marlins anticipate the hit tool to continue developing through the upper levels. Bohn ruptured a ligament in his finger toward the end of the 2014 season, and the Marlins thought he might not be able to fulfill his Arizona Fall League assignment. The injury did not require surgery, and he ranked among Salt River's top hitters (.328/.409/.431) in 58 at-bats. He logged some AFL innings at second, learning the nuances of the position with an eye toward increasing his versatility. He's an average runner who's becoming a more aggressive baserunner. Bohn should arrive at spring training in 2015 brimming with confidence and ready for the upper minors.
