Weeks after his immense amount of success during the College Baseball World Series, Arizona utility man Bobby Dalbec, has finally signed a contract with the Boston Red Sox. The big-hitting, hard-throwing right-hander who initially was drafted in the fourth round, officially signed his deal today.
Dalbec saw a successful season with the Wildcats this past year, especially during the teams’ dream-like playoff run. He was instrumental in Arizona’s success, and that success has come in the way of a payday, and a big one at that.
Arizona Baseball fans have been anxiously waiting for a couple of weeks now, for the MLB draft dust to settle. Dalbec was initially drafted, but had been waiting on a contract he was ‘okay’ with. He had expressed he would return for his senior if he didn’t like the contract being offered.
