Rockies Sign Peter Tago


The Rockies signed prep right-hander Peter Tago, according to the MLB draft's Twitter page. Tago, selected 47th overall in the supplementary first round, gets a $983K bonus, according to Jim Callis of Baseball America. MLB recommends a $740K bonus for Tago's slot, so the Rockies are paying a little more than the commissioner's office would like. Baseball America says Tago is "a near perfect model of a prep right-hander with a huge upside: projectable frame, easy arm action, calm demeanor and electric stuff." The 18-year-old had committed to playing at UCLA.

Bats: Right, Throws: Right
Height: 6' 3", Weight: 180 lb.
Born: July 5, 1992 in Laguna Niguel, California, US (Age 18)
Drafted by the Colorado Rockies in the 1st round (47th) of the 2010 MLB June Amateur Draft.
