Amateur Draft Signings: 6/26/20

By Connor Byrne | June 26, 2020 at 11:33pm CDT

Several more post-Round 1 picks have agreed to deals with their teams. Here’s a look at the newest group of players…

  • The Brewers have locked up a pair of picks – second-rounder Freddy Zamora and fourth-rounder Joey Wiemer – Robert Murray tweets. As the 53rd pick, Zamora’s selection carried a recommended value of $1,370,400, but he’ll collect an under-slot bonus of $1.15MM, per Jim Callis of MLB.com tweets. Zamora’s a former University of Miami shortstop whom MLB.com placed 100th in its pre-draft rankings. Meanwhile, Wiemer will earn $150K, which falls well shy of the $473,700 slot value of the 121st overall choice, Murray reports. Baseball America ranked Wiemer, an outfielder from the University of Cincinnati, as the 136th-best player in this year’s class. While BA’s bullish on Wiemer’s defense, it writes that he “consistently underwhelmed as a hitter” in college.
  • The Indians announced the signings of second-round left-hander Logan Allen and fifth-round righty Mason Hickman on Friday. Allen, not to be confused with the other lefty named Logan Allen in the Cleveland organization, went 56th overall. Financial details are unknown, but his pick came with a slot value of $1,276,400. The former Florida International hurler rated as MLB.com’s No. 46 prospect before the draft. Hickman, an ex-Vanderbilt Commodore who came off the board at No. 154, signed for the full slot value of $343,400, Paul Hoynes of cleveland.com relays. Baseball America pegged the 6-foot-6, 230-pound Hickman as the 161st-best prospect available before the draft.
  • The Rockies have wrapped up second-round righty Chris McMahon – pick 46 – for $1,637,400, Callis reports. That checks in a tad above the recommended slot of $1,617,400. McMahon, yet another former Miami Hurricane, came in at No. 45 on Keith Law’s list at The Athletic going into the draft. Law calls McMahon “a strike-thrower with three pitches, a pretty good delivery, and nothing plus or even consistently above-average.”
  • The Mariners and ex-Mississippi third baseman Tyler Keenan reached a deal Friday, Callis tweets. Keenan, a fourth-rounder and the 107th pick, signed for $500K – down from the recommended value of $543,500. Keenan’s a powerful, high-exit velocity hitter, but he’ll need to improve his quickness as a defender in order to stick at third, Callis writes.
  • The Rays have signed fourth-round shortstop Tanner Murray, according to Callis. His deal means the club has signed all six of its selections from this year. Murray, previously with UC Davis, inked a deal worth $455,600 – full slot value for the 125th pick. He’s a high-contact, high-OBP offensive player who’s versatile enough to play multiple positions, per Callis.

      Right! 2 left handed pitchers for the same team with the same name and both are from the state of Florida.

    Keith Law is probably the biggest pessimist prospect guy out there, but thats probably why hes the most realistic

      Those who can’t land on ESPN. Law’s resume with Toronto was not strong enough to justify a job. He is a fraud.

    That’s a pretty fair evaluation of Tanner Murray’s play. He hit .343 in his 3 years with 1 home run each season. I was in attendance for this year’s. Decent speed too.

    One thing that always surprises me about UCD’s baseball team is how the whole manages to be less than the sum of its parts. They have all these really good players like Murray, but it took COVID- 19 and a 24 inning win to get them only their third winning season (9- 7) as an NCAA Division I team (2008- present).

    It’s a miniscule difference, but Callis is reporting that Hickman signed for $340,000 instead of the full slot value
