The Dodgers have reached a contract agreement with 2nd round pick, Landon Knack. He was the 60th pick of the draft and was a 5th-year senior at East Tennessee State University. The Dodgers still have two more picks to sign in the form of Clayton Beeter and Jake Vogel. With the Dodgers having about $2.8M left to sign their last two picks I remain hopeful that the Dodgers can sign both of them.
2nd-rder Landon Knack signs w/@Dodgers for $715k (slot 60 = $1,157,400). That must be a record for a 5th-yr senior. East Tennessee State RHP, led NCAA D-I in K (51 in 25 IP) & K/BB (51/1) after stuff jumped this spring, fastball was 93-98, always has pounded zone. @MLBDraft

After a summer spent lifting weights and firming up his burly 6-foot-2 frame, he worked at 93-95 mph deep into games and touched 98 during the shortened season. He tightened his slider into a consistently solid offering, added power to what had been a get-me-over curveball and continued to demonstrate feel for his changeup. – MLB Pipeline
It is possible that he might be added to the 60-man pool of players. They have not added anyone from the 2020 draft yet, but they still have that option.
We at Dodgers 2080 are excited that Landon Knack has signed and we wish him well. You can follow him on Twitter (@LKnackers) and Instagram (@lknackers). Welcome to the Dodgers, Landon!
