Texas Rangers: Team Signs 2017 First Round Draft Pick
The Texas Rangers have signed their 2017 first round draft Pick, Shortstop Chris Seise. He’s the 29th overall draft pick out of West Orange High School in Winter Garden, Florida. His journey to Arlington, Texas is officially underway.
The length and amount of his contract is unknown, however, according to Jim Callis, his contract includes a $2 million bonus. Many sources say Seise was due to play college ball at the University of Central Florida, however, now that he’s officially under contract, it’s safe to say he won’t be playing at the collegiate level. Giving him that kind of bonus, it seems the Texas Rangers are confident and content with their pick.
