The Pittsburgh Pirates have signed second round left-handed pitcher Hunter Barco, according to Jim Callis.
2nd-rder Hunter Barco signs with @Pirates for $1,525,000 (slot 44 = $1,776,100). @GatorsBB LHP, deceptive fastball to 95, sweeping slider, solid changeup. Looked like certain 1st-rder before Tommy John surgery this spring. @MLBDraft

The deal for Barco is $1,525,000, which comes in under slot by about $250,000. Barco is returning from Tommy John, which he just underwent in May.
