Chase Burns signed the largest bonus in draft history at $9.25MM, surpassing last year's top pick's $9.2MM, but slightly below the $9.79MM slot value.
Burns was expected to be the top pitcher selected, despite being a slightly surprising pick at #2, with other players like Condon and Wetherholt being marginally ahead due to pitcher injury risks.
Burns was a high-profile prospect in 2021, moved to Wake Forest from Tennessee, where he showcased his dominance with a 2.70 ERA, striking out 191 batters in 100 innings.
