ST. PETERSBURG -- Garrett Whitley's life has been a whirlwind since the Rays selected him with the No. 13 pick overall, in the 2015 Draft.
Whitley, 18, first had to graduate from Niskayuna (N.Y.) High School. Next came the physical with the Rays. Then he signed on the dotted line Tuesday for $2,962,100, which is the full slot value for the No. 13 pick. And, finally, the five-tool outfielder put on a uniform and took batting practice at Tropicana Field.
