[86this]

Players can be signed for up to $150,000 without it affecting an organization's overall bonus pool.  For any bonus above that mark, the overage beyond $150,000 counts toward the pool.

Not a bad debut.  2 IP, 2 H, 0 BB, 5 K.

Not too many draftees go straight to Aberdeen.   Interesting.    20th round.    I’m assuming the velocity isn’t great.

I just watched his innings on MiLB.tv.  Struck out the first 4 batters he faced, he gave up back-to-back hits (one to shallow CF and an infield hit that the batter beat out.  He struck that last batter he faced.  He kept most of his pitches low in the zone.  The announcer said he models his game after Tyler Glasnow but he doesn't have the velocity Glasnow has.
