That strategy paid off big time: Jace Mataczynski (3rd round) and Martin Shelar (9th round) both got bonuses way above slot, with Shelar setting a new record for a ninth-rounder and even turning down a college scholarship. Kaleb LaFavor (10th round) also got a hefty bonus as a tall pitcher. All four are headed to Fort Myers to begin their pro careers — a draft that kept everyone talking, especially with Bruml leading the charge for the first time.
