Yankees Sign Ty Hensley

By Mark Polishuk | July 12, 2012 at 10:02pm CDT

The Yankees have signed first-round draft pick Ty Hensley, reports Kendall Rogers of Perfect Game USA (Twitter links).  The two sides agreed to a $1.2MM bonus, below the recommended slot price of $1.6MM for the 30th overall pick. 

There could be some intrigue in the signing, as Baseball America's Jim Callis reports that Hensley and the Yankees agreed to terms on a $1.6MM bonus in June before an MRI revealed "abnormalities" in his pitching shoulder.  As a result, Hensley's bonus was reduced by $400K, though the right-hander said in a statement released through his advisor that he was happy with how the Yankees treated him during the process.

Hensley, a high-schooler from Oklahoma, had committed to pitch for the University of Mississippi before being drafted by New York.  He is described by Baseball America's John Manuel as having a plus curveball that may be even better than his fastball, which has touched 97-mph.  Hensley's makeup and work ethic has also been praised by scouts.

    Nice. Glad the NYY didn’t end up with another Cole fiasco where a draftee changes their mind after being selected.

      RAB said he lost some bonus so we got more money to sign some late rounders.  Hurrah!

      A high School player that can touch 97 and has a good curve, sounds good.  As long as he can stay healthy he should turn out to be a good pick.

      I’m happy we got him signed. But that part made my body cringe. Hope for the best is all we can do.

    we saved alot of money hopefully this will help us sign some of the high potential guys ‘committed’ to college.   i believe most of them are outfielders.

    Shoulder abnormalities?   Holy Cow. What does that mean?

      The fact that a high school kid can touch 97 mph seems like a basic shoulder abnormality to me.
