More than half of the 11 FSU baseball players who were selected in last week’s MLB Draft have reportedly already signed with their professional teams.

Here’s a rundown of each of players and what they received in reported signing bonuses.

Shortstop Alex Lodise, who was selected in the second round by the Atlanta Braves, signed for a bonus of $1.297 million.

FSU outfielder Max Williams, who was drafted in the third round, signed with the Miami Marlins for $897,500.

Fifth-round pick Peyton Prescott signed with New York Mets for $197,500, which was less than half of the projected slot value of over $400,000. The below-slot signing was likely attributed to the fact that Prescott sustained an elbow injury in his final FSU appearance and will have a lengthy rehabilitation ahead of him.

Outfielder Gage Harrelson, who was drafted in the 16th round, signed with the Los Angeles Angels for $150,000. FSU’s two other 16th-rounders also have signed, according to reports: Catcher Jaxson West signed with the Toronto Blue Jays for $150,000, and pitcher Maison Martinez has signed with the Cincinnati Reds for $147,500.

FSU’s other five draft picks are expected to sign as well, but they had not as of Sunday night.

Those are first-round pick Jamie Arnold, who was selected by the Athletics; second-rounder Cam Leiter (Los Angeles Dodgers); fourth-round pick Drew Faurot (Miami Marlins); sixth-rounder Joey Volini (Marlins); and 15th-round pick Evan Chrest (Cleveland Guardians).

When those players sign with their new teams, the terms will be posted in this thread on our FSU Baseball Forum.
