He signed a contract with the Angels in which they got his baseball rights if he so chooses to play baseball in the next 6 years. He also had to give up his scholarship and is now considered a walk-on and the Angels pay for his schooling now. Also, he signed as a CF, not as a pitcher.
I know the tuition is a drop in the bucket compared to what it would cost the Angels contractually, but that's pretty cool he got a pro team to pay for his college degree.

I just hope this doesn't set him up to be the next Josh Booty, regardless of what he does. If he stays on campus, I hope people don't expect him to be the Friday night starter and All-American starting quarterback immediately.

I think it is pretty standard for MLB teams to set aside college money for kids signed out of highschool.
