One of college baseball’s most exciting players got himself a nice payday on Friday.
ESPN’s Jeff Passan reported that former Georgia third baseman Charlie Condon signed a deal with a $9.25M signing bonus with the Colorado Rockies, who selected him third overall in the 2024 MLB draft last week.
Condon’s bonus equals the bonus signed by the No. 2 pick, right-handed pitcher Chase Burns out of Wake Forest. It is the biggest draft bonus in MLB history.
Condon was an absolute superstar in 2024, slashing an otherworldly .433/.556/1.009 with 37 home runs, 78 RBI, and 20 doubles – earning SEC Player of the Year honors.
He popped 25 home runs with a .386 batting average his first season with the Bulldogs in 2023, and flashed versatility all over the diamond by playing first base, third base, left field, and right field across his two collegiate seasons.
The Colorado Rockies and slugger Charlie Condon are in agreement on a deal for a $9.25M signing bonus, sources tell ESPN. Condon, taken No. 3 overall, matches the bonus of the No. 2 pick, Chase Burns, also repped by Vayner Sports. It’s the biggest draft bonus in MLB history.

Condon was one of nine SEC players picked in the first round of the MLB draft, and was joined in the top five by Arkansas left-handed pitcher Hagen Smith.
