Just before the deadline to sign, former UNC baseball commit Walker Jenkins agreed to a deal with the Minnesota Twins organization.
It certainly came down to the wire, but the deal is officially done.
No. 5 overall pick Walker Jenkins signs w/@Twins for $7,144,200 (pick value = $7,139,700). Best North Carolina prep prospect since Josh Hamilton in 1999, big lefty power to all fields, sweet swing, solid runner w/chance to play CF, great makeup. North Carolina recruit. @MLBDraft pic.twitter.com/zbDcS9lJAl
