Players drafted from Round 11 on do not count against the bonus pools unless their signing bonus exceeds $150,000; any amount over that total will count against the pool.
Total bonus pool: $9,916,900
MLB rank: 18
1 (16): Bryce Eldridge, TWP, James Madison HS (VA)
Pick value: $4,326,600
Signing bonus: $3,997,500
Eldridge was the highest selected of eight two-way players in this year's MLB Draft. MLB Pipeline's No. 23 Draft prospect this year, he can reach 96 with his fastball and complements it with a strong slider and changeup. On the other side of the ball, he has raw power and strong first base defense. His athleticism could help him move around the diamond.
2 (52): Walker Martin, SS, Eaton HS (CO)
Pick value: $1,620,800
Signing bonus: $2,997,500
Martin had first-round interest but fell to the Giants in the second round as one of the best value picks in the Draft. A strong commitment to Arkansas had the Giants sign him for nearly double his pick value. The 19-year-old shortstop has strong power and a good arm, and was the quarterback of his high school.
2C (69): Joe Whitman, LHP, Kent State
Pick value: $1,074,100
Signing bonus: $805,575
Whitman's velocity is lower than many other college picks in this Draft, but his strong command of three pitches more than makes up for it. The lefty is Kent State's highest Draft pick since Eric Lauer in 2016. Whitman was a first-team All-American and won MAC Pitcher of the Year after going 9-2 in 15 starts with a 2.56 ERA and 100 strikeouts.
3 (85): Cole Foster, SS, Auburn
Pick value: $820,900
Signing bonus: $747,500
Foster is coming off a strong junior season at Auburn in which he slashed .336/.429/.570 with 13 home runs in 55 games, all starts. The shortstop brings to the Giants' system impressive versatility at the plate and on the field.
4 (117): Maui Ahuna, SS, Tennessee
Pick value $569,100
Signing bonus: $497,500
Viewed as one of the best defensive shortstops in the 2023 Draft, Ahuna batted .312 with eight home runs and 42 RBIs over 53 games during his junior season at Tennessee. The left-handed hitter displayed some swing-and-miss tendencies after transferring from Kansas, but he's flashed some pop and offers the upside of 15-20 homers per season.
5 (153): Quinn McDaniel, 2B, University of Maine
Pick value: $400,600
Signing bonus: $300,450
McDaniel finished his junior year at Maine with a strong .354/.513/.688 slash line and was in the starting lineup for all 53 of the Black Bears' games. After hitting 16 home runs, McDaniel was honored with an America East first-team All-Conference selection.
6 (180): Luke Shliger, C, Maryland
Pick value: $314,800
Signing bonus: $272,500
7 (210): Scott Bandura, OF, Princeton

How bonus pools and pick values work
Each choice in the first 10 rounds comes with an assigned value, with the total for a club's selections equaling what it can spend in those rounds without incurring a penalty. If a player taken in the top 10 rounds doesn't sign, his pick's value gets subtracted from his team's pool. Clubs near the top of the Draft often spend less than the assigned value for those choices and use the savings to offer more money to later selections.
Teams that exceed their bonus pool face a penalty. Clubs that outspend their allotment by 0-5 percent pay a 75 percent tax on the overage. At higher thresholds, clubs lose future picks: a first-rounder and a 75 percent tax for surpassing their pool by more than 5 and up to 10 percent; a first- and a second-rounder and a 100 percent tax for more than 10 and up to 15 percent; and two first-rounders and a 100 percent tax for more than 15 percent.
