Bucs Sign First Overall Pick

By WILL GRAVES AP Sports Writer
PITTSBURGH (AP) — The top overall pick in baseball’s amateur draft is ready to get to work. Henry Davis signed with the Pittsburgh Pirates just a week after being taking No. 1. The hard-hitting catcher from Louisville agreed to a signing bonus of $6.5 million, nearly $2 million below the maximum he could have signed for. The Pirates plan to use the savings to lock down some of the other 20 players they took in the draft. Davis will begin his professional career playing in the Florida Complex League.
