Draft Signings: 7/24/21

By Mark Polishuk | July 24, 2021 at 7:36pm CDT

Here are the latest Day Two draft picks to sign with their teams.  For more on the 2021 draft class, check out the prospect rankings and scouting reports compiled by Baseball America, Fangraphs, MLB Pipeline, The Athletic’s Keith Law, and ESPN’s Kiley McDaniel.  As well, here is MLB Pipeline’s breakdown of the slot values assigned to each pick in the first 10 rounds, as well as the bonus pool money available to all 30 teams.

All signings were reported by MLB Pipeline’s Jim Callis, unless specified otherwise.

  • The Angels signed St. Mary’s College left-hander Ky Bush for a $1.75MM bonus, spending slightly beyond the 45th overall pick’s assigned value of $1,650,200.
  • The Nationals signed Daylen Lile for $1.75MM, going a bit overslot ($1,580,200) for the 47th overall pick to get the high school outfielder to forego his commitment to Louisville.
  • The White Sox went overslot to sign second-round pick Wes Kath, signing the high school third baseman for a $1.8MM bonus.  The 57th overall selection has an assigned price of $1,243,600, but the Sox had some money to spare after going well underslot to sign college players picked within their first 10 selections.
  • The Athletics signed University of Virginia third baseman Zack Gelof for $1,157,400, matching the slot price for the 60th overall pick.  Oakland has now signed all of its picks from the first 10 rounds of the draft.
  • The Royals signed 66th overall pick Peyton Wilson for an at-slot ($1,003,300) bonus.  Wilson is listed as a second baseman, but Callis notes that the University Of Alabama product can also play catcher and center fielder.
  • The Indians signed Florida right-hander Tommy Mace for $1.1MM, according to MLB Pipeline’s Jonathan Mayo.  Mace’s bonus is above the $929.8K slot price for the 69th overall pick.
  • The Orioles have reached agreements with 20 of their 21 picks, with some notable overslot bonuses among the signings  Eighth-rounder Creed Willems had the most eye-opening number, as the high school catcher landed a $1MM bonus that went way over the $187.7K assigned slot price for the 227th pick.  MASNsports.com’s Roch Kubatko reports that the Orioles also went well above the $818.2K slot price for 76th overall pick John Rhodes, who signed for $1.375MM.

    Hopefully that signing bonus will give Gelof a Band Aid for his student loan debt.

    Loved the Wes Kath pick for the Sox I thought he was a 1st rounder for sure

      Often happens that way for HS kids with college commits. Teams don’t want to waste a first round pick on a kid they may not be able to sign.

    Liked Ky Bush at 2 for the halos. Kid can pitch and should move quickly.

    If his floor is multi inning bullpen guy, well we clearly need those.

      15th rounder glenn albanese is a pleasant surprise. being senior in college may have dropped him down there but he seems to have high upside as a pro. that is, as long as cheapo arte’s system doesn’t eat him up.

      It was bold going all pitching for the draft, but I liked it for the Angels because they needed it. Law of averages would suggest at least one or two of those guys becomes a useful piece.

    Well so much for the Angelos “going cheap” in the draft.
