Good for him for getting drafted, but as a senior with no leverage, I'll be he gets somewhere around 5000 or less signing money even though that slot is much more than that. Typically in rounds 7 to 10 teams draft senior players in an effort to save money so they can woo some later drafted kids with higher slot money.
However, it's still great to be drafted.

He has absolutely tore up the Pioneer League. In 33 games his line is .316/.358/.652 with a OPS of .990. 9 HRs. He's too advanced for that league. I'm sure his numbers will drop quite a bit moving up, but so far he's enjoying a good start to his professional career. The scary stat is 1 walk and 18 strikeouts. So he's gonna have to find a way to get on more and not strike out so much.
