Gorgas 13th rd to Seattle

[Oxford Bob]

I never realized the kid was 5'9 or at least that's what mob draft tracker has for him. That's awfully small for a power pitcher.

Coming from a small H.S. and under 5'10" is probably the reason he slipped to the 13th round. I believe the money for that slot is 100K. My guess is he'll go to UConn. With his talent he should eventually shine in college.

After taxes, he's looking at $60k

 

[Oxford Bob]

After the 10th rd there is no slot money. A player signs for whatever amount he can get. College seniors usually get the low end of the scale because they don't have any options of returning to school left. If a HS player is wanted he can actually sign for higher amounts. At that point it all depends on how much bonus money the team has left.
