The top high school prospect in the 2020 draft class is officially a Rockie, as Colorado signed outfielder Zac Veen to a $5 million signing bonus on Wednesday.
Colorado also signed two other draft picks at full-slot value, left-hander Sam Weatherly (third round out of Clemson, $755,300) and shortstop Jack Blomgren (fifth round out of Michigan, $394,300). The team has now signed four of its six picks, including right-hander Case Williams (fourth round out of Douglas County, $450,000) last week.
Veen, 18, was picked No. 9 overall. His left-handed swing with raw power, coupled with a strong throwing arm and speed, made him the most projectable prep player in the draft.
