With the 24th overall selection, we chose
Steve Maisel, a HS pitcher from Missouri.
We ended up agreeing to an above slot signing bonus of $6,000,000.
With our 2nd round selection, we chose
Murdock Zigay (what an unreal name), a HS CF from Canada.
He looks like he might have some 2 way potential, but his third pitch doesn't look like it will develop, so he would be a reliever at best.
He will try 2 way initially, but if it isn't working we will use him as a batter only.
We agreed to the slot signing bonus around $1,000,000.
We had two picks in the 3rd round (one from a failed 2021 signing).
We used the first pick on
Chad Walton, a HS pitcher from NY.
We used the second pick on
Bobby Needham, a college "CF" from Utah.
He looks the have the makeup of a super utility guy.
Since he is older, he will start in low A, with the hopes of getting him up to A ball before the season is over.
With our fourth round selection, we chose
Tommy Phillips, a HS batter from
Detroit!
He was listed as a LF, but profiles as a 1B/DH kind of guy.
With our fifth round selection, we chose Bobby Conkey, a HS outfielder from Florida.
