Pre-draft rankings and scouting reports are provided by , , and . A round-up of todays draft signings for upwards of $2MM: The Mets agreed to terms with 19th overall pick on a $3.9975MM bonus, reports Jim Callis of MLB Pipeline ( ). Thats narrowly below the approximate $4.22MM slot value. Benge was generally regarded as a mid-late first round talent and ultimately landed there in the draft. He was a two-way player at Oklahoma State but is viewed as an outfield prospect in pro ball. A left-handed Chicago White Sox Jersey hitter, Benge draws praise from evaluators for his contact skills and power projection. Hes generally viewed as a right field prospect. McDaniel likens his profile to that of Orioles rookie outfielder . Benge hit .335/.444/.665 with 18 homers and 24 doubles over 61 games as a draft-eligible sophomore. Nationals second-round pick Luke Dickerson agreed to a $3.8MM deal, Callis reports ( ). Thats well above the $2.12MM value for the 44th overall pick. Callis notes that its the largest deal for a player selected after the supplemental round in the bonus pool era. The bonus aligns with what would be expected for a player drafted in the early 20s. Thats a bit of a surprise, as Dickerson rated as a late second-round talent on most pre-draft lists. The Nats are evidently higher on the righty-swinging middle infielder and were motivated to keep him from attending the University of Virginia. A New Jersey high schooler, hes viewed as a hit-first infielder who probably projects to second base. The Pirates announced the signing of competitive balance draftee Levi Sterling . Jonathan Mayo of MLB Pipeline reports ( ) that the high school righty landed a $2.5114MM bonus to match the 37th picks slot value. A Texas commit, Sterling is a 65 righty with advanced control. Law writes that his changeup is the headlining pitch in his arsenal. Sterling doesnt throw especially hard right now but could add velocity given his frame. Hes regarded as a potential back-end starter. Fraser Ellard Jersey
