The exciting news came on Tuesday night, marking a significant milestone in Stephan’s baseball career.
Stephan’s Journey and Draft Details
Stephan has just completed his third season at Virginia, where he has been a key player for the Cavaliers. Despite being drafted, Stephan still holds another year of eligibility, offering him the option to return to college baseball for one more season.
All players selected in rounds 11-20 of the MLB Draft, which took place on Tuesday, share a slot value of $150,000. However, the actual signing bonus can vary significantly depending on negotiations between the team and the drafted player. Each draftee has until 5 PM ET on August 1st to decide whether to sign with their respective team or return to school.
The Path Ahead
For Stephan, the decision ahead is a pivotal one. Signing with the Reds would kickstart his professional baseball career, offering him the opportunity to climb through the ranks of one of Major League Baseball’s storied franchises. On the other hand, returning to Virginia for his senior year could further hone his skills and improve his draft prospects for the future.
