The New York Yankees signed first-round pick (30th overall), right-handed pitcher Ty Hensley, on the eve of the signing deadline with a bonus amount of $1.2 million.

Hensley's signing with the Yankees comes as no surprise, though, sources indicated the two parties were close to 50-50 less than 24 hours ago. The pick value amount tied to Hensley's slot is $1.6 million, thus the Yankees were able to nab Hensley for $400K under slot.

Hensley had signed a letter of intent with the University of Mississippi. He was ranked No. 18 in the nation, No. 1 in the State of Mississippi and No. 6 nationally in terms of right-handed pitchers, all rankings by Perfect Game.

Hensley made a strong impression on scouts and coaches in attendance last summer when he topped out at 94 with very good stuff.
