Slot money for a top 20 pick is 5 million +



And he wouldn't even get a million if he was drafted in the first round as a senior

Because Kade had leverage.

Good for him! He is not set for life, but that is a damn good start to his career!

Waiting for the first senior to say I'm going to play in the savannah banana league for a year and you just wasted your first round pick.

Truth is that the players agree to taking below slot prior to being drafted. If they don't, team goes down the list until someone agrees to it.

It’s a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy because no super talented juniors stay for senior year. If Paul Skenes stayed for another year and did the same thing, he’d get full slot money. We just don’t see uber talented guys stay.

Considering the top 2 picks, HS Seniors each signed for about $2.5 million under slot, I am super happy for Ant.

Course, Kade Woods, who was already gone in the portal, signed WAY below slot. I guess he just wants to play

Signed for $2.50k
Pick Value: $188.60k

I think what impressed me the most about him is his composure on the mound. He never got rattled.

Those breaking pitches break not only the laws of physics, but sports economics.

Nice.
