Granden Goetzman received a $490,000 bonus from the Tampa Bay Rays, according to Baseball America, adding he is the first draft pick this season to sign higher than MLB's recommended slot.
The Palmetto outfielder was taken in the second round by the Rays with the 75th overall pick, a pick that usually nets a player $485, 100.
Goetzman signed Tuesday with Tampa Bay at Tropicana Field, choosing the Rays over Florida Gulf Coast University, which gave the outfielder a scholarship.
He will report to the Rays' Gulf Coast League team in Port Charlotte.
The GCL seasons opens next week.
