Jim Salisbury has the details here. The rumored price is $750K, which would be a Phillies record in Latin America. Seems to be ultra athletic, with excellent speed, and he throws/bats righthanded. This would be a fairly significant investment, by the Phillies standards, and would be welcomed with open arms.
Update –> He’s signed, according to Baseball America, for $759,000.

Well, another year and another draft in the books. This year’s draft sparked a few of the busiest days in the history of the site, including signing day, and I’m grateful all of you showed up and hit refresh all day while we waited for announcements to be made. I’m going to give a few final thoughts on the Phillies picks, as well as give a few more general comments, and then we’ll wait and see what happens this winter with the rumored changes to the draft process. The Phillies have done well in the draft over the last decade, some years better than others, but even recently they began to be slightly more aggressive, and the result has been a number of excellent prospects, usually at a bargain. This year was no different, so lets get started.
Another week in the books. Talking points: Scott Mathieson with several good starts in a row…Perci Garner’s first hot list mention…Jesse Biddle bouncing back from his hip injury…continued troubles for JC Ramirez…Joe Savery earning his first save…Is Brandon Moss the answer for a left-handed bat off the bench for the Phils?…Kyrell Hudson streaking…and some troublesome names on the not hot list (Brown, Franco, Collier).
As I will be on vacation next week, Hot or Not will be condensed into two reports, spanning the last three weeks of the season. Look for the next report Sunday the 28th or Monday the 29th. Continue reading Hot or Not
