The Braves on Tuesday announced that they had signed each of their 20 picks from this month’s MLB draft.

Recently, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that the Braves signed first-round pick Cam Caminiti – a left-hander from Saguaro High in Scottsdale, Arizona – for $3,556,300, which is full slot value for the No. 24 pick.

The Braves on Tuesday announced the signing of 11 pitchers, six outfielders, two infielders and a catcher.

Of the team’s 20 signees, 11 played for NCAA Division I programs. Of the other nine picks, six are high school players, two are Division II players and one is a junior college player.

For the fifth consecutive draft, the Braves selected a pitcher with their first pick. This time, they went with Caminiti, a 17-year-old who is the cousin of former Braves infielder Ken Caminiti, who died in 2004.
