MLB Mock Drafts: Where Will Kyle Teel and Jake Gelof be Drafted?

The end of the 2023 Virginia baseball season likely corresponds with the end of the decorated three-year collegiate careers of Kyle Teel and Jake Gelof. Both players are eligible to be selected in this year's MLB Draft and both are currently projected to be drafted within the first 50 picks, corresponding to top-dollar signing bonuses.

MLB.com currently has Kyle Teel ranked as the No. 10 overall prospect and Jake Gelof as the No. 42 overall prospect in its MLB Draft Pipeline Top 300 Prospects. According to the slot values distributed from the MLB to each franchise back in April, the No. 10 overall pick is slated to receive a bonus of $5,475,300, while the No. 42 overall pick is set to receive a $2,045,900 bonus. It should be noted that teams selecting players with those draft picks won't necessarily offer a bonus exactly matching the slot value provided by the MLB, but these figures give a rough estimate of how much a player selected at each pick is expected to earn from his signing bonus.
