Delgado was drafted in last year’s fourth round and signed to a bonus of $525,000, which was enough to pry him away from his verbal commitment with the Alabama State Hornets. Although born in Havana, Delgado moved with his family to the U.S. as a 16-year-old, and he graduated from Doral Charter Academy in Miami.
What did he do at Doral Charter? Oh, only hit .480 with 14 homers and 33 RBIs. At the time of the draft, Delgado was described by PerfectGame as athletic, with a strong arm, and defensively advanced.
