Rockies agree to terms with No. 3 overall pick Jonathan Gray

jonathan gray ap

As first reported by Troy Renck of the Denver Post, the Rockies have agreed to terms with the third overall pick from last week’s 2013 MLB Amateur Draft, Oklahoma right-hander Jonathan Gray.

The financial terms have not been announced.

Gray holds maybe the highest upside of any pitcher in this year’s class. Featuring an upper-90s fastball, a deceptive changeup and a high quality slider, he posted a 1.64 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 147/24 K/BB ratio in 126 1/3 innings this season for the Sooners. There was also that positive predraft Adderall test.

The 21-year-old is going to start his professional career with the rookie-level Grand Junction Rockies.

UPDATE, 10:18 PM ET: Jim Callis of Baseball America says Gray’s signing bonus is worth $4.8 million.
