CHICAGO (AP) --- Roch Cholowsky has agreed to a contract with the Chicago White
Sox that includes a record-breaking $10.35 million signing bonus after he was
the No. 1 overall pick in last weekend's amateur draft.
A person familiar with the contract confirmed the agreement to the AP on
Tuesday because it hadn't been announced by the team.
The slot value for the top pick this year was $11,350,600. Cholowsky's bonus
tops the previous mark of $9.25 million for the amateur draft that belonged to
Reds pitcher Chase Burns and Rockies prospect Charlie Condon, two of the top
three selections in 2024.
Cholowsky, a 6-foot-2 shortstop who turned 21 in April, hit .320 with 21
homers, 60 RBIs and a 1.088 OPS in 60 games this season for UCLA.
