Rangers sign 17 draft picks, including 1st-rounder Malcolm Moore

ARLINGTON, Texas -- The Texas Rangers have signed their first 17 draft picks, including first-rounder Malcolm Moore.

Moore, a catcher out of Stanford, was the 30th overall pick in Major League Baseball's amateur draft, which was held during the All-Star festivities hosted by the Rangers. The team announced the signings Wednesday, eight days after the draft ended.

Texas introduced Moore before their game against the Chicago White Sox , after he had taken batting practice with the Rangers. He got a $3 million signing bonus.

Tennessee outfielder Dylan Dreiling, the second-round pick, got a $1,287,600 bonus.

The Rangers also signed four undrafted free agents.

Moore is only the fourth catcher the Rangers have taken with a first-round pick, and the first since 2010. Only one of the previous three made it to the majors, that being Bill Haselman, the 23rd overall pick in 1987.

A left-handed hitter, Moore batted .288 with 31 home runs and 99 RBIs in 118 games over two seasons with Stanford. He led the Cardinal as a sophomore this year with 16 homers in 54 games, and had more walks (44) than strikeouts (35).
