MLB Draft Signings: 6/29/19

By TC Zencka | June 29, 2019 at 11:35am CDT

We’ll use this post to track some of the day’s draft signings…

  • The Cubs signed their 3rd rounder to below-slot value today, per MLB.com’s Jim Callis (via Twitter). Michael McAvene signs for $500K, just a little below his potential value as the 103rd overall pick in the draft – slot value of $565,600. He appeared in 23 games out of the Cardinals bullpen this season, going 2-0 with a 2.73 ERA across 33 innings. He struck out 50 versus only 11 walks, good marks for the righty, who chucked a mid-90s heater as a reliever. There’s at least a chance the Cubs will try to convert him to a starter moving forward.
  • The Mariners signed their supplemental 2nd rounder Isaiah Campbell for $850K, tweets Callis. Slot value for the 76th pick in the draft is $818,200, but Seattle felt Campbell was worth splurging for. Campbell rocks a mid-90s heater that touches 98 mph, and he has a couple of interesting secondary pitches as well. Campbell helmed the staff for the Arkansas Razorbacks this season, goin 12-1 with a 2.13 ERA in 18 starts. He struck out 125 batters versus only 22 walks, promising numbers for Seattle’s new righty. Fun fact from Callis, Campbell would be the first major leaguer from Portugal since the illustrious Frank Thompson in 1875.

    Yup, I was momentarily confused when it mentioned that a draft choice had been fairly successful with the Cardinals…

    Senior moments abound!!!

      You’re not the only one. I thought draft signings became waiver wire pick-ups. When Louisville is confused for St Louis.

    I’m sorry to see he was “below-slow” value. How slow is he?

    Isaiah Campbell is a player most baseball fans will know in 5 years.

    Frank Thomas in 1875, please you just can not put that out there. You simply lose all credibility.
