NEW YORK - The Diamondbacks have reached an agreement with left-hander Daniel
Schlereth, their top pick from last month's draft, and he was en route to
Phoenix on Monday night to undergo a physical Tuesday.
The deal could be finalized Tuesday, and Schlereth could be pitching for the
team's rookie-level affiliate in Missoula, Mont., this weekend.
"I've been waiting for this my whole life," Schlereth said Monday night while
driving from Tucson to Phoenix. "I'm definitely excited and ready to get this
whole career thing going."
But the physical and MRI exam Schlereth will undergo Tuesday isn't exactly
routine.
The day after the Diamondbacks selected him with the No. 26 overall pick,
Schlereth, a hard-throwing reliever out of Arizona, did not pitch in the
Wildcats' NCAA super-regional game because of an injury.
He said it was a strained lat muscle and added that he has no concerns about
Tuesday's exams revealing anything significant. The Diamondbacks will make sure
there is nothing structurally wrong with Schlereth's shoulder or elbow.
"(The lat injury) took about a week and a half, two weeks, to heal," he said.
"I feel 100 percent."
The day he was drafted, Schlereth said he hoped to reach the majors this season
. The club believes he has the potential to be a fast riser, but he said Monday
that he wasn't sure if getting there this season is realistic.
"I don't know how soon it can be," he said. "I'm going to do as much as I can
to help."
Terms of the deal were not known, but he figures to receive a signing bonus
between $1.35 million and $1.29 million, the amounts for pick Nos. 25 and 27,
respectively.
