17th round: Logan Poteet, C, UNC-Charlotte
-
16th rounder: RHP Riely Hunsaker, Lamar
-
If you assume all pitchers break and often, maybe it's better to get them coming off injury rather than when they're healthy and about to break? Nothing behind that theory.
-
15th rounder: RHP Noah Edders, Troy (senior) Previously went to Bradley and Downers Grove South HS
-
14th round: RHP Kaemyn Franklin, Victory Christian HS (OK) Kohl Franklin's younger brother. Had Tommy John a few months ago.
-
The Brewers are still doing their universally praised thing of taking 4th-6th round graded prep kids (or even lower graded kids from the North) in rounds 11-20.
-
13th round: RHP Nate Williams, Mississippi St (senior)
-
The Cubs will spend their full allotment. They always go to the edge of the 5% overage. We just might not like how they get there.
-
12th round: RHP Connor Spencer, Ole Miss (senior) Not ranked anywhere I can see
-
Angels swinging big finally with their Bremner savings: Talon Haley in the 12th.
-
Or with NIL, is not even worth trying on some of these guys?
-
Was very well regarded out of HS and had a good freshman year but the arm is messed up.
-
11th round: Cubs select Eli Jerzembeck, RHP, South Carolina
-
I assume Wing is getting ~$1 million, which would be nearly $400k over slot. Using Pipeline's rankings, he was ranked 87th and slot for 87 is $907k. Obviously teams don't use Pipeline or BA to rank/pay prospects but it feels like a good baseline to use. (Also after a few years of guessing on this, I've realized I should err on the side of assuming a larger bonus for prep prospects drafted after day 1.)
-
The Cubs had the 22nd largest bonus pool this year.
-
Well, they're going well over slot on Wing and Hartshorn.
-
Wait, there's an hour break? What am I supposed to do now? Work?
-
Diamondbacks select Craig Counsell's son in the 10th round.
-
That said, LSU does a good job getting kids to campus.

10th rounder: C Justin Stransky, Fresno St. Another senior, Not ranked by anyone:
