Right-hander Bryce Miller, Seattle's fourth-round pick out of Texas A&M, signed for $400,000, which is $112,400 below the slot value for the 113th overall pick.
The other Mariners Draft selections to sign are: catcher Andy Thomas (fifth round, Baylor), righty Bryan Woo (sixth round, Cal Poly), outfielder Colin Davis (seventh round, Wofford College in South Carolina), shortstop James Parker (eighth round, Clemson), outfielder Spencer Packard (ninth round, Campbell University in North Carolina), righty Jordan Jackson (10th round, Georgia Southern), outfielder Corey Rosier (12th round, UNC Greensboro), shortstop Ben Ramirez (13th round, USC), righty Andrew Moore (14th round, Chipola College in Florida), third baseman Cole Barr (15th round, Indiana), righty Jimmy Joyce (16th round, Hofstra), righty Jimmy Kingsbury (17th round, Villanova), righty Riley Davis (18th round, University of Alabama at Birmingham) and catcher Charlie Welch (19th round, Arkansas).
