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.
Players drafted from Round 11 on do not count against the bonus pools unless their signing bonus exceeds $150,000; any amount over that total will count against the pool.

MLB rank: 15
1 (14): Kyle Teel, C, Virginia
Pick value: $4,663,100
Signing bonus: $4,000,000
Teel was considered the best catching prospect in the Draft and he is expected to join one of Boston's Minor League affiliates in the coming days.
2 (50): Nazzan Zanetello, SS, Christian Brothers College High School (MO)
Pick value: $1,698,000
Signing bonus: $3,000,000
The Red Sox are thrilled to land Zanetello, a highly athletic, self-proclaimed "five-tool person and five-tool player." The fact that the Sox went well over slot to sign him shows how enthusiastic they are about his future.
3 (83): Antonio Anderson, SS, North Atlanta High School (GA)
Pick value: $846,800
Signing bonus: $1,500,000
The switch-hitter from Georgia has a balanced approach and at least average power. He also has a strong arm and has hit up to 91 mph on the radar gun.
4 (115): Matt Duffy, RHP, Canisius College
Pick value: $580,200
Signing bonus: $350,000

4C (132): Kristian Campbell, SS, Georgia Tech
Pick value: $492,700
Signing bonus: $492,700
Campbell was considered the best college hitter in the state of Georgia in 2023, hitting .376/.484/.549. He has a contact approach but flashes some raw power in BP. He has solid to plus speed. Campbell's long-term position is a question.

Signing bonus: $500,000
5 (151): Connelly Early, LHP, Virginia
Pick value: $408,500
Signing bonus: $408,500
Early transferred from Army and had a very successful year in the UVA rotation. He doesn't wow you with his stuff, but Early has four potential pitches with the feel to use them. He could have a high floor as a back-end starter.

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.
Players drafted from Round 11 on do not count against the bonus pools unless their signing bonus exceeds $150,000; any amount over that total will count against the pool.
