The previous record was set back in 2022 when the Texas Rangers signed their fourth-round pick, Brock Porter, for $3.7 million. Porter was also a high school pitching prospect.

Hirschkorn was drafted in the 3rd round, 84th overall, on Saturday. The value of Hirschkorn's draft slot was $973,000.

The Kingsburg Viking was signed to play for LSU's baseball program next year but is now reportedly forfeiting his NCAA college eligibility to join the Braves' minor league system.
