Summary
The Atlanta Braves just shattered draft history with a record-breaking $4 million deal for third-round pick Jensen Hirschkorn, the tallest and most talented pitcher in this year’s draft. Standing at 6’7”, Hirschkorn, who committed to LSU, chose pro ball after this unprecedented offer — beating out Brock Porter’s previous record of $3.7 million. With a high-velocity fastball, elite slider, and above-average command, he’s a rare gem. Meanwhile, first-rounders AJ Gracia and Carter Beck signed below slot, while others like Cole Dennis and Wil Libbert hit both above and below. This deal signals how seriously teams are viewing late-round talent — and Hirschkorn’s rise is just getting started.
