Report: Braves agree to terms with 1st-round pick Kolby Allard

Brett Davis / USA TODAY Sports

The Atlanta Braves have agreed to terms on a deal with 2015 first-round pick Kolby Allard, according to David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Selected 14th overall, the left-hander reportedly signed for a bonus of $3,042,000, slightly above slot value.

Allard, who was the last of the Braves' 25 picks to sign, missed most of his senior year in high school with a stress fracture in his back, but has since fully recovered.

The 17-year-old features one of the best curveballs in the draft, with a fastball that hits the low-to-mid-90s.
