Blohm was a key member of the Johns Hopkins baseball program when the Blue Jays first made their mark on the national scene. From 1984-87, he helped guide JHU to a 105-40-1 (.723) record, two MAC Southeast Championships (1986 & 1987), and one appearance in the NCAA Tournament (1986). Hopkins posted a staggering 33-5-1 record in 1986, setting then school records for victories in a season and winning percentage.

Blohm concluded his career in 1987 with a career record of 25-7. His 25 victories, .781 winning percentage, and 22 complete games all ranked second in school history at the time of his graduation and he still ranks among the top 10 in school history in all three categories. Amazingly, he completed 22 of the 29 games he started in his career and posted a career ERA of 2.85. In addition, he ranked third all-time in strikeouts (191) and innings pitched (239.0) at the conclusion of his career.

Blohm posted a perfect 9-0 record to help lead Hopkins to the 1986 MAC Southeast title and a trip to the NCAA Tournament. He earned First team All MAC South in 1987, when he was also named a First Team South Region All-American.

After graduating from Johns Hopkins, Blohm continued his baseball career in the professional ranks. He was originally drafted by the Atlanta Braves and, over the course of a six-year professional career, spent time in the Orioles, Pirates, and Blue Jays' organizations. He spent three of his six years pitching at the Triple A level and was scheduled to make his major league debut in 1994 before the player's strike was settled.
