St.. Edward's Alex Lavisky has signed with the Indians after posting a .459 batting average with 13 home runs and 38 RBI last season.CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Indians have signed St. Edward catcher Alex Lavisky to a $1 million signing bonus. He was their eighth-round pick and will report to the team's Arizona Rookie League club in Goodyear, Ariz.
Lavisky, a Cleveland native, passed up a schorlaship to Georgia Tech to sign with his hometown team.
Stetson Allie, the other half of the battery that led the Eagles to the Division I state title this year, has signed with the Pirates, according to sources. He was the Pirates' second-round pick and 52nd player taken in the draft.
Lavisky, 19, hit .450 (36-for-80) with nine doubles, 13 homers and 40 RBI as a senior. Baseball America ranked him as the seventh best catcher in the draft.
The Indians are still trying to sign their top three picks before today's midnight deadline. They did sign their fourth-round pick, University of San Diego right-hander Kyle Blair, for a $580,000 signing bonus. MLB 's suggested bonus for that pick was $247,500.
Still unsigned are No.1 pick left-hander Drew Pomeranz, the fifth player taken overall, from the University of Mississippi; No.2 pick LeVon Washington from Chipola Junior College in Florida and No.3 pick shortstop Tony Wolters from Rancho Buena Vista High School in California. Wolters has committed to the University of San Diego.
Washington is represented by Scott Boras. The two sides have been negotiating, but it's probably going to take at least $1.5 million to sign him. It's been rumored that Wolters is seeking a $2 million signing bonus.
The Indians took Washington with the 55th pick in the entire draft. Kansas City took Brett Eibner, an outfielder/right-handed pitcher, with the 54th pick and paid him $1.25 million. It would not be surprising if Boras' camp is saying that Washington is the more talented of the two players.
Washington was Tampa Bay's No.1 pick last year, but did not sign. The Rays reportedly offered him $1.1 million.
Blair was the 120th player taken in the June draft. He was 8-4 with a 2.54 ERA for San Diego. The 6-3, 200-pounder struck out 126, walked 28 and allowed 79 hits in 98 1/3 innings. In 15 starts, he held the opposition to a .219 batting average.
The Dodgers drafted Blair in the fifth round out of high school in 2007, but he elected to go to college.
Blair will report to Class A Mahoning Valley.
The Indians have signed 22 of the 50 players they drafted in June.
