<p>The <a href="https://www.truebluela.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Dodgers</a> have apparently signed their seventh-round pick from the 2016 <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/mlb-draft" class="sbn-auto-link">MLB Draft</a>, outfielder Luke Raley from Division-II Lake Erie College in Ohio. Raley posted <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BGuCizcotXmpygQ0vOaOVEHgireYyfoHDldpEU0/" target="_blank">a picture of him signing on Instagram</a>.</p>
<p>Raley, a 6'3, 220-pound outfielder, was the first Division-II player taken in the draft. He captured third-team All-America honors from the American Baseball Coaches Association, hitting .424/.528/.747 with 12 home runs, 11 doubles and 28 walks in 47 games, while also stealing 11 bases in 13 attempts.</p>
<p>"There isn't a more deserving guy I know," <a href="http://www.lakeeriestorm.com/sports/bsb/2015-16/releases/20160610syk2re" target="new">said Raley's college coach Brian McGee</a>. "I'm not talking about just being a great person, which he is, I'm taking about the passion in which he plays with while dominating the game."</p>
<p>Raley's bonus has not yet been reported. The <a target="_blank" href="http://www.truebluela.com/2016/6/7/11874580/mlb-draft-2016-dodgers-signing-bonus-pool">slot bonus for the No. 221 overall pick is $187,400</a>.

<p>While the Dodgers have yet to announce any signings officially, there are a few other 2016 draft picks who are in the fold.</p>
<p>Seattle University third baseman Brock Carpenter, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.truebluela.com/2016/6/13/11926818/2016-mlb-draft-brock-carpenter-dodgers-20th-round">their 20th-round pick</a>, has also signed with the Dodgers, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BGsy0Htxw9q/?taken-by=brock_carpy" target="_blank">per his Instagram account</a>:</p>

<p>It looks like 29th-round pick, junior college right-hander Will Kincannon out of Triton College in Illinois, has decided to stay in school. He will attend a four-year school, Indiana State, in 2017.</p>
<p>"Thank you to the Dodgers for making a childhood dream come true of getting drafted! Even though it wasn't where I expected because of $ numbers. It was still an unbelievable feeling I will never forget," Kincannon <a target="new" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BGhycPSEe0r/">posted on Instagram on June 11</a>. "I will be attending Indiana State next year ready to improve my draft stock."</p>
