The 3rd overall pick in the 2016 MLB Draft signed with the Atlanta Braves for $4M — under slot — and immediately was placed under the Braves “next big thing” label. He was signed out of Shenendehowa High School in Ballston Lake, New York as an 18-year-old with lots of promise.
He joined the Braves organization on June 25, when he made it official and signed on the dotted lines.
