BALTIMORE - The Phillies agreed to terms with their first-round draft pick, Cornelius Randolph, on a $3.2 million signing bonus, the slotted value for the 10th overall selection, according to a baseball source.
Randolph, represented by Scott Boras' agency, was in Philadelphia on Tuesday to take his physical. The 18-year-old could begin his professional career with the organization's short-season, single-A affiliate in Williamsport.
A smooth-hitting high school shortstop from outside Atlanta, Randolph will transition to left field. He is the Phillies' highest-drafted position player since Pat Burrell was taken first overall in 1998.
The Phillies have yet to announce their draft pick signings, but according to MLB.
