Yesterday, the Yankees have announced that they have signed their top-5 picks in the 2022 MLB Draft as well as a few UDFA's!
MLB Draft Signings:
In the 2022 MLB Draft, there were 20 rounds (not including an additional 2 competitive balance rounds and 2 compensation rounds), during which the New York Yankees had a total of 20 picks, or one per round. As it goes, the Yankees drafted the following 20 players:
Spencer Jones (OF) - Vanderbilt
Drew Thorpe (P) - Cal Poly
Trystan Vrieling (P) - Gonzaga
Anthony Hall (OF) - Oregon
Eric Reyzelman (P) - LSU
Chase Hampton (P) - Texas Tech
Cam Schlittler (P) - Northeastern
Brett Barrera (SS) - Stanford
Matt Keating (P) - USC
Will Brian (P) - Eastern Kentucky
Ryan Harvey (P) - UC Santa Barbara
Jackson Fristoe (P) - Mississippi State
Geoffrey Gilbert (P) - Clemson
Kris Bow (P) - College of Southern Nevada
Tayler Aguilar (OF) - Grand Canyon University
Shane Gray (P) - Evansville
Hayden Merda (P) - Azusa Pacific University
Sebastian Keane (P) - Northeastern
Beau Brewer (3B) - Paris JC
Trevor Kirk (P) - Elon University
From those 20 players, the New York Yankees have already officially announced that they have signed each of their top-5 draft picks, as well as their 11th round draft pick. This is how much they have each gotten:
Spencer Jones (1st round) - $2,880,000
Drew Thorpe (2nd round) - $1,190,000
Trystan Vrieling (3rd round) - $611,400
Anthony Hall (4th round) - $456,500
Eric Reyzelman (5th round) - $340,700
---
Ryan Harvey (11th round) - $250,000
For each of the top-5 draft picks, the Yankees signed them to bonuses that were equal with the value of the draft slot. Ryan Harvey was signed to an over-slot value (as every pick in the 11th-20th round had no assigned value).
The Yankees have a total draft bonus pool of $6,428,600. As of now (with the 6th-10th round players not yet signed), they have used $5,728,600 of that money. They can spend up to $6,750,030 (while paying a 75% luxury tax on the additional $321,430) before any draft-pick penalties are applied. Additionally, if a player in the 6th-10th round does not sign, the slot value of that pick is removed from the bonus pool. The following are the bonus figures for the 6th-10th rounds:
6th round - $264,000
7th round - $207,500
8th round - $172,300
9th round - $158,000
10th round - $149,800
In addition, the Yankees have signed 6 additional undrafted free-agents. These are the following players (thanks to Eli Fishman for this information; tweet below):
Alex Bustamante (RHP) - New Mexico State
Jackson Lyon (OF) - Cal State Fullerton
Hueston Morrill (INF/RHP) - Oklahoma State
Kevin Stevens (RHP) - Rio Grande Valley
Adam Stone (RHP) - Harvard
Baron Stuart (RHP) - Pittsburgh
