BRAVES FINAL DRAFT SIGNING BOARD: Backstrom on board!

Looks like Tyler Owens has signed.

That’s the whole top fourteen, then, and the first three of six day-three prep guys.

His signing photo was posted approximately 4:30 Friday.

Here's a fun one: 40th round pick Cade Bunnell from Indiana U. did an interview with the Stoughton Courier about beginning his pro career with the Braves. Not every day your last guy comes aboard!

“11th-rder Vaughn Grissom signs with @Braves for $350k ($225k counts vs pool). Matches biggest post-10th rd bonus in 2019 @MLBDraft so far. Florida HS SS, power potential, solid arm, average speed. Florida International recruit.”

So Grissom, Owens and Johnson have signed. Morton, Estes and Backstrom remain from that high school group in rounds 11-19.

Morton looks to be the hardest get from this group. The other two have indicated they are excited by the opportunity.

if you wanted to praise Coppy's drafts, you could've just done it.

Coppy drafted very well, unfortunately the international signing fraud gate, and trades were his downfall.

Great story. Regardless of the odds, he's getting paid to play the game that he loves and I imagine a lot of folks in here would relish the same opportunity. Good luck to him.

Interesting on Bunnell. Hit .196 and only started 8 games. Guess the scouts still saw something in him

Wore a Braves hat to McDonalds the week before the draft and one of his buddies tweeted the picture saying he's a fan.

He's another Upper Midwest guy and Stu Cann or a local stringer probably has been watching him since his high school days in Wisconsin. Played at three different schools: Kansas State as a freshman, Madison (WI) JC as a sophomore, and Indiana as a junior.
