Today is the deadline to sign all the players selected in the 2022 MLB Draft. The Arizona Diamondbacks boasted the second largest draft pool due to having the 2nd overall selection.

Landon Sims, Demetrio Crisantes, and Spencer Giesting each got signing bonuses that exceeded their pick’s recommended slot value. Sims was a successful college reliever that blew out his arm just three starts into the college season. A bulldog on the mound with two 70-grade pitches (fastball and slider), the development of a change-up would change his projection into a near surefire starter.
