2018 DRAFT LIST AND SIGNINGS

rico, are the dollar amounts posted at the end of each player's line the slot value or what they signed for?

Slot. We will change to signed amount when we get it (as in the case of Moritz)

Can’t wait to start my professional career with the @Braves !!

Jim Callis on Twitter:

6th-rder Andrew Moritz signs w/@Braves for $242,500 (pick 172=$280,400). UNC Greensboro CF, career .406 avg, three Southern Conf batting titles in three years -- can you tell he can hit? Solid runner too. @MLBDraft

He had an interesting college career. He played his freshman year at Ball State in Indiana and then transferred to State College of Florida JC. Sat out a year with an injury and then had a tremendous season this spring. Big kid with a lot of power potential. I found this scouting report on him: http://baseballcensus.com/2018/04/07/state-college-of-florida-cj-alexander-scouting-report/

He's one to keep an eye on.

Braves have been looking to run into a 1B with power and latter half of the draft last few times through. My guess is that is where this guy ends up.

It feels like we drafted more interesting players this year in the later rounds. Which imo is the way to go. They are all lottery tickets.

I think the process was also more straightforward this year.

Some very interesting guys throughout. Curious to see if these lottery tickets are Powerball or scratch-offs.

Zach Guth committed to Indiana as a high school junior, but never pitched there. Instead, he went to Maryland, where he pitched as a freshman. He ended up at Harford (MD) JC. 10-0 W/L this season with 65 Ks in 49 IP. .136 BAA, but walked a lot of guys.

Here's an article about him outlining his commitment to Indiana: https://www.prepbaseballreport.com/news/PA/Zach-Guth-Commits-to-Indiana-2906435178

And here's a snippet about his time at Maryland: https://marylandbaseballnetwork.com/2017/01/16/preseason-countdown-zach-guth-32/

Heyman tweeted that the Mutts have a deal in place with Kelenic for ~ $5 million.

Hopefully helps in Stewart negotiations.
 
Was hoping Braves could just sign Stewart, Beck, Riley, Moritz, and Jenista, anything else is gravy.
 
Yankees sign Siegler under slot value.

EDIT: Callis has it at exactly slot value.

Why are the 10th through 17th round picks not listed?
 
Derek West (28th round pick, Pitt) is the Braves annual investment into a pitcher who has recovered from Tommy John surgery.

Last two done, Beck and Riley are verbal at the moment; and you got to figure that a deal was in place for Stewart before the pick!
