All Nationals Draft signings

1 (5): Elijah Green, OF, IMG Academy (Fla.) -- $6,500,000 (Pick value: $6,497,700)
Green, 18, is the Nationals’ highest Draft pick (fifth overall) since Bryce Harper in 2010. He batted .462 with a 1.592 OPS, nine homers, 32 RBIs and 40 runs scored in 25 games during his senior season en route to being ranked as MLB.com’s No. 3 Draft prospect.

2 (45): Jake Bennett, LHP, Oklahoma -- $1,734,800 (Pick value: $1,734,800)
Bennett is familiar to the Nationals: He was drafted by the team in the 39th round in 2019, before he opted to attend college at Oklahoma. The 21-year-old was 10-4 with a 3.69 ERA across 20 games (19 starts) this season. Bennett also went to high school and college with Nationals top prospect Cade Cavalli.

3 (84): Trey Lipscomb, 3B, Tennessee -- $758,900 (Pick value: $758,900)
After seeing limited playing time behind future Major League picks his first three years of college, Lipscomb maximized the opportunity of the everyday starting role as a senior.

4 (111): Brenner Cox, OF, Rock Hill HS (TX) -- $1 million (Pick value: $549,300)
The Nationals were pleased when Cox was still available at the 111th overall pick. An outfielder who also played quarterback, he is lauded for having an arm that translates from a football field to a baseball field. Cox batted .288 with 26 stolen bases in his senior year of high school.

5 (141): Jared McKenzie, OF, Baylor -- $410,500 (Pick value: $410,500)
McKenzie left Baylor as the school's all-time batting average leader (.389). He also ranked second in the Big 12 Conference this season with a .383 average, 62 runs scored and 82 hits.

How bonus pools and pick values work

Each choice in the first 10 rounds comes with an assigned value, with the total for a club's selections equaling what it can spend in those rounds without incurring a penalty. If a player taken in the top 10 rounds doesn't sign, his pick's value gets subtracted from his team's pool. Clubs near the top of the Draft often spend less than the assigned value for those choices and use the savings to offer more money to later selections.

Teams that exceed their bonus pool face a penalty. Clubs that outspend their allotment by 0-5 percent pay a 75 percent tax on the overage. At higher thresholds, clubs lose future picks: a first-rounder and a 75 percent tax for surpassing their pool by more than 5 and up to 10 percent; a first- and a second-rounder and a 100 percent tax for more than 10 and up to 15 percent; and two first-rounders and a 100 percent tax for more than 15 percent.
