Marlins Sign Supplemental 2nd-Rounder Kyle Nicolas

By Connor Byrne | July 15, 2020 at 8:03pm CDT

The Marlins have signed supplemental second-rounder Kyle Nicolas for $1,129,700, Jim Callis of MLB.com tweets. That’s the full slot value of Nicolas’ pick, No. 61 overall.

The 21-year-old Nicolas attended college at Ball State, where he struggled to keep runs off the board in his first two seasons before coming into his own during a shortened 2020 campaign. Across 23 innings last season, he logged a 2.74 ERA with 14.5 K/9 against 2.7 BB/9. He subsequently entered the draft as a top 70 prospect according to FanGraphs (53), MLB.com (60), ESPN’s Kiley McDaniel (64) and Baseball America (No. 68). FanGraphs, the most bullish of those outlets, calls Nicolas a relief-only prospect and writes that he brings a high-90s fastball and a promising slider/curveball mix to the table.

Nicolas joins first-rounder Max Meyer as the only 2020 draft picks the Marlins have signed so far. Second-rounder Dax Fulton, third-rounder Zach McCambley, fourth-rounder Jake Eder and fifth-rounder Kyle Hurt are still without the deals. The Marlins went into the draft with a $12,016,900 bonus pool. Between Nicolas and Meyer, they’ve spent just over $7.8MM.

    Wow Marlins haven’t signed most of their picks. Other picks want their piece of that 12M.

    You guys act like he or everyone that signs gets that Millions of dollars automatically. They get minor league average until they reach the majors. After so many ABs, games, (aka service time) in the majors, they then collect part of that million dollars. Who knows when these kids will play a minor league game again at this point in baseball.

      What?? Every player drafted and that signs gets their signing bonus this year. The most common is split up over two years so half of it now and half of it next year.
