The Marlins agreed to a $3.4MM deal with first-round pick PJ Morlando, reports Craig Mish of SportsGrid. The deal allowed Morlando to push into the middle of the first round with his advanced contact skills and huge raw power. While the bonus falls below slot value, evaluators see him as a late first-round talent requiring some mechanical changes in pro ball.
The Braves signed Cam Caminiti for a $3.5563MM bonus, matching the full slot value. The Arizona prep left-hander with mid-90s fastball velocity and an advanced changeup has the potential to become a mid-rotation starter. Despite the risky nature of high school pitching selections, Caminiti is seen as a promising talent.
