Friday saw a handful of top 10 picks put pen to paper, #1 overall selection . Weve already covered significant deals for Bazzana, , and this afternoon. A few more notable draft signings of the past 24 hours: The Marlins agreed to a $3.4MM deal with first-round pick PJ Morlando , reports Craig Mish of SportsGrid ( ). Thats well shy of the approximate $4.7MM slot value of the 16th overall selection. While Josiah Gray Jersey its somewhat rare to see a high school player sign for well below slot, the deal allowed Morlando to push into the middle of the first round. , , and each ranked the South Carolina commit between 33rd and 52nd in their pre-draft rankings. Evaluators credit the left-handed hitter with advanced contact skills and huge raw power that he shows mostly in batting practice. BA writes that Morlando entered the year as a potential top 10 pick but had a disappointing spring. Law suggests hes likely to require a mechanical change in pro ball to better integrate his lower body into his swing. Morlando projects to left field or first base, putting a lot of pre sure on him to maximize his offensive potential. The $3.4MM bonus falls between the slot values of the 25th and 26th picks, valuing Morlando as a late first-round talent. The Braves are in agreement with 24th overall pick Cam Caminiti on a $3.5563MM bonus, reports Jim Callis of MLB Pipeline ( ). Its full slot value for the Arizona prep left-hander. An LSU commit, Caminiti was the first high school pitcher off the board. Evaluators credit him with mid-90s fastball velocity and an advanced changeup. Law writes that the 62 southpaw developed his curveball into an average or better offering this spring. Theres plenty of risk with the high school pitching demographic, but Caminiti has a chance to be a mid-rotation starter. Supplemental first-round pick is in agreement with the Orioles on a $2.7MM bonus, Callis reports ( ). Thats just shy of the $2.84MM slot value for the 32nd pick. A shortstop from the University of Virginia, OFerrall was a divisive pre-draft prospect. McDaniel and Law each had the right-handed hitter among the 35 best players in the cla s. He ranked 49th at FanGraphs and 115th on Baseball Americas draft board. OFerrall makes a ton of contact, striking out just 24 times in 323 plate appearances (a 7.4% rate) in his draft year. He hit .324/.367/.454 with five homers over 63 contests as a junior. The more optimistic reports suggest OFerrall could be a regular at shortstop based on his bat-to-ball skills and an above-average glove. BA suggests his arm strength might push him to second base, where his minimal power upside could be more of a concern. Keibert Ruiz Jersey
