FILE - In this file photo made June 8, 2012, Stanford pitcher and first-round draft pick Mark Appel throws during a NCAA college baseball tournament super regional game against Florida State in Tallahassee, Fla. Appel spurned the Pittsburgh Pirates and decided to remain at Stanford for his senior season, one of the first big casualties of baseball's new restrictions on amateur signing bonuses. Appel is the only one not to sign out of 31 first-round picks. Under the labor deal, the deadline for draft picks to sign was Friday, July 13, 2012, a month earlier than under the previous deal.
