FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas baseball signee Masyn Winn agreed to terms with the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday.
Winn, who was drafted 54th overall by the Cardinals in the second round of the MLB Draft on June 11, signed for $2.1 million, according to Jim Callis of MLB.com. That is 56.8 percent more than the suggested value of greater than $1.33 million for Winn’s position in the draft.
“A dream come true but it’s only the beginning!” Winn wrote on Twitter. “Time to work!”
The Cardinals drafted Winn as a right-handed pitcher and shortstop. Winn recently graduated from Kingwood High School near Houston.
