Below is a list of every player drafted by the Guardians.
Each club has until 5 p.m. ET/4 pm. CT on Monday, Aug. 1, to come to terms with its Draft selections. If a player has exhausted his collegiate eligibility, he can sign at any time up until one week prior to the next year’s Draft.
Draft-and-follow picks -- high school and junior college players selected after the 10th round who attend a two-year college after the Draft -- can sign with their selecting teams for up to $250,000 up until a week prior to the following year’s Draft.
Total bonus pool: $9,986,200
MLB rank: 13
1 (16): Chase DeLauter, OF, James Madison -- $3,750,000 (Pick value: $3,937,600)
Guardians director of amateur scouting Scott Barnsby was impressed with DeLauter's ability to leverage the ball, his pitch recognition and his strike zone awareness. DeLauter, who had 15 homers in 66 collegiate games, broke his foot in April, which ended his season early, but he told Cleveland before the Draft that he was back to 100%. He was off to another hot start this season before his injury, hitting .437 with a 1.404 OPS in 24 games.
CBA (37): Justin Campbell, RHP, Oklahoma State -- $1,700,000 (Pick value: $2,101,800)
The 6-foot-7-inch, 219-pound hurler had a 3.37 ERA in 35 games (33 starts) in three collegiate seasons, finishing with the seventh-most strikeouts in school history (265). Campbell was selected in the 18th round of the 2019 Draft by the Astros out of high school, but he opted to attend Oklahoma State. He boasts a heater that sits around 92 mph -- but can touch 97 mph -- that pairs with a solid changeup and a mid-70s curveball.
2 (54): Parker Messick, LHP, Florida State -- $1,300,000 (Pick value: $1,407,100)
After pitching for Team USA last summer, Messick returned for his ’22 season with the Seminoles and owned a 3.38 ERA with 144 strikeouts in 98 2/3 frames and a 0.973 WHIP. Messick has a four-pitch mix with a heater that averages 91 mph and can reach 95 mph, a low-80s changeup (his best secondary offering), a curveball and slider.
3 (92): Joe Lampe, OF, Arizona State -- $800,000 (Pick value: $670,200)
Lampe has tremendous speed that helped him swipe 17 bags in 57 contests in 2022, while owning a .340 average with 22 doubles, three triples and 12 homers. His speed and defensive ability will likely translate to him remaining in center field throughout his career.
4 (121): Nate Furman, 2B, UNC Charlotte -- $300,000 (Pick value: $497,900)
Like the Guardians' current lineup, Furman may not have the most power, but his bat-to-ball skills are elite. In 58 games with UNC Charlotte in 2022, he walked 49 times vs. just 26 strikeouts with a .371 average and a .976 OPS.
5 (151): Guy Lipscomb Jr., OF, Belmont University -- $275,000 (Pick value: $371,800)
Lipscomb is a center fielder who has the versatility to play all three outfield positions. Like Lampe, Lipscomb boasts plenty of speed, which led him to setting a school record with 42 stolen bases in 57 games in 2022 while hitting .406.
6 (181): Dylan DeLucia, RHP, Ole Miss -- $275,000 (Pick value: $284,200)
The Guardians were able to stay under slot value to sign the College World Series Most Outstanding Player. The righty has an 89-95 mph fastball that plays up and can pound the zone, according to MLB Pipeline's Jim Callis.
7 (211): Javier Santos, RHP, Georgia Premier Academy -- $125,000 (Pick value: $222,400)
Santos can bring the heat. His fastball sits in the mid-90s, but he has the ability to reach 98 mph.
8 (241): Jackson Humphries, LHP, Fuquay-Varina HS (NC) -- $600,00 (Pick value: $180,000)
Humphries' command wavered during his senior high school season, but his four-pitch mix of fastball, slider, curveball and changeup has the potential to be solid, and the Guardians feel confident in his ability to remain a starter.
9 (271): Austin Peterson, RHP, Connecticut -- $125,000 (Pick value: $161,200)
In 190 2/3 innings at UConn (he began his career at Purdue), Peterson fanned 229 batters while walking just 46. His 5.88 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 2022 ranked 29th in the nation.
10 (301): Jacob Zibin, RHP, TNXL Academy (Fla.) -- $1,200,000 (Pick value: $152,000)
Clearly, all the money the Guardians saved on their previous signings was used to lock up Zibin. He was the youngest player in the 2022 MLB Draft, but he can already get his fastball up to 97 mph. Zibin also has an impressive changeup and the Guardians believe he'll be able to add a breaking pitch once he starts working with their player development staff.
11 (331): Magnus Ellerts, RHP, Florida SouthWestern State College -- $125,000
12 (361): Jack Jasiak, RHP, South Florida -- $125,000
13 (391): Tyresse Turner, SS, USC -- $125,000
14 (421): Pres Cavenaugh, OF, UNC Greensboro -- $125,000
15 (451): Adam Tulloch, LHP, Arizona State -- $125,000
16 (481): Logun Clark, C, Taft HS (Calif.) -- $125,000
17 (511): Angel Zarate, OF, North Carolina -- $100,000
18 (541): Zach Jacobs, RHP, UC Riverside (Calif.) -- $125,000
19 (571): Geo Rivera Jr., RHP, Walters State CC (TN) -- $160,000
20 (601): Shawn Rapp, LHP, North Carolina -- $50,000
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.
